Post-Budget Implementation Consultation Papers: ACTAC response

The Australasian Conference of Tertiary Admissions Centres (ACTAC) has made a joint submission in response to the Australian Government’s Post-Budget Implementation Consultation Papers.

ACTAC believes it is in a unique position to provide expert advice on a range of admission matters to the Department and in the future to ATEC, and can act as a trusted partner in the implementation of policy arising from the Australian Universities Accord.

It welcome's the opportunity to partner with Government on the capability uplift required to deliver responsive tertiary policy outcomes and timely support for equity cohorts by:

• building on existing measures to support growth of equity cohorts
• providing equity students with clear information about their eligibility status and course options
• considering a range of factors in structuring student support
• being aware that supplementary offer system to fill course vacancies currently operate in all jurisdictions
• understanding that provider flexibility is key in maximising student access and success
• considering the operating rhythms of the sector when implementing new funding arrangements.
