Review of regional provision of higher education

An issues paper has been released to encourage discussion within the Australian higher education sector about the best way to fund flexible and sustainable regional higher education.

The Review of Regional Loading - Issues for Regional Provision is part of the Australian Government's ongoing commitment to Transforming Australia's Higher Education System and response to the Bradley Review.

The Review of Regional Loading will examine the cost of providing quality teaching and learning in regional Australia as well as current funding arrangements, with the aim of developing a new, more logical basis for funding.

The review will also consult with universities and other stakeholders, invite written responses to the issues paper, and commission research on costs of regional higher education and models of good practice.

A high-level reference group has been established to provide guidance for the review.

All stakeholders are encouraged to read the issues paper and make submissions to the review.

A copy of the issues paper can be found at www.deewr.gov.au/tahes.
