The Albanese Government is doubling the number of University Study Hubs across the country and bringing the Hubs to the outer suburbs of our major cities for the first time.
In response to the Universities Accord Interim Report, the Government will establish up to 20 additional Regional University Study Hubs, and up to 14 new Suburban University Study Hubs.
This builds on the 34 existing Regional University Study Hubs located across the country.
To support the delivery of the new Suburban University Study Hubs, a consultation paper has been released today seeking feedback on the design of the new Hubs.
The Suburban University Study Hubs will be established in outer suburban areas without a significant physical university campus and where the percentage of the population with university qualifications is low.
The Hubs will provide spaces to support students, including those from low socio-economic backgrounds, First Nations students and people with disability.
The consultation paper seeks feedback from communities, students, state and territory governments, potential hub hosts including educational institutions and local governments, and other stakeholders.
