It advocates for increased access, particularly for low SES, Indigenous, and regional students, calls for lifting caps on Commonwealth Grant Scheme (CGS) places, and emphasizes enhanced quality through the TEQSA framework. The proposal also aims for a coherent education system uniting VET and university sectors, increased public funding, and research performance alignment. It highlights the need for collaborative efforts across government departments to create a more equitable and effective higher education landscape.
