Our universities make an enormous contribution to Australia’s economic & social prosperity.
The work of Australia’s 39 universities drives economic growth, extends the frontiers of knowledge, makes life-saving breakthroughs and helps the nation to transition in an era of sweeping digital disruption.
In coming years, Australia will need to create new jobs and new industries to replace the 40 per cent of jobs tipped to disappear within two decades.
To make the dramatic economic transformation ahead, we will rely even more heavily on the research breakthroughs and highly-skilled graduates produced by our world-class universities.
