Submission to the Review of Australian Higher Education
The Dusseldorp Skills Forum, in conjunction with Dr Bob Birrell of the Centre for Urban Research and Population at Monash University, submitted a significant report and recommendations to the Submission to the Review of Australian Higher Education.
Our submission concludes that:
The number of places for domestic university students should be substantially increased given the number of young people not involved in post school training and the likely increased demand for analytic and communication skills.
Australia’s higher education system needs to be geared for the demands in work and research created by a carbon-constrained future.
There should be a closer integration of TAFE programs with university courses.
The arrival of COVID-19 in Australia posed a serious risk for families in West Arnhem Land. Within a short period of time, all West Arnhem communities became closed to all non-essential travel.
Maranguka is a key gateway, both for community members and for service providers. Maranguka was identified by the Local Emergency Management Committee as the key communication pathway to the Bourke Aboriginal community and have been invited to all key NSW Health meetings.
With the arrival of COVID-19, it quickly became apparent to Logan Together that there were urgent needs to be met in the community and that new partnerships and responses would be required.
Dusseldorp Forum acknowledges the First Peoples of Australia and the Traditional Custodians of the Country on which we work and live. We pay our respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, and to Elders past, present and future.
