Closing the Gap in Indigenous Higher Education: ATSIHEAC's Policy Development Framework

This presentation discusses the policy development framework of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Higher Education Advisory Council (ATSIHEAC) in addressing the gap in Indigenous higher education. It covers broadening access across disciplines, a whole university strategy, academic workforce, sustainable financing, and system-level performance monitoring. It also explores Indigenous HDR commencements, completions, and enrollments by field, as well as strategies to maximize the PhD pipeline for Indigenous students and address barriers to HDR options.
