Today Minister Evans and Minister Carr released a call for submissions to the Review of Higher Education Access and Outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People.

The Review will have a clear focus on ensuring that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people share equally in the life chances that a quality university education provides. It will also focus on the knowledge and perspectives that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people bring to the benefit of not just Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people but also non-Indigenous university students, staff and the broader community.

Submissions are invited from all parts of the Australian community. Submissions from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are encouraged.

The Ministers’ media release is available from the Ministers' Media Centre.

Submissions must be lodged by 5:00 pm on 18 November 2011.

Make a submission to the Review of Higher Education Access and Outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People.
