The Final Report of the Australian Universities Accord found that Australia’s tertiary education system lacks the coordinated, future-focused and evidence-based decision-making capacity necessary for Australia’s future success. The federal government has committed to establishing the Australian Tertiary Education Commission (ATEC) “as a steward of the tertiary education system” that will bring direction, cohesion and stability to policy making as well as having the capacity to drive reforms over the long term. It is intended the ATEC be established in an interim capacity from 1 July 2025, and formally established from 1 January 2026, subject to legislation.
