Description
As Australia’s higher education landscape evolves, so too must the frameworks that govern it. This session explores how universities, regulators and government can uphold quality and accountability while reducing unnecessary compliance burden. With TEQSA reforms and new oversight models on the horizon, panelists will consider what smarter, proportionate regulation looks like for a stronger, more agile sector.
