The review will consider the different types of higher education providers in Australia.

Professor Coaldrake’s role was announced today by Education Minister Dan Tehan.

������˾��’s Chief Executive Catriona Jackson said Professor Coaldrake had extensive high-level experience in the sector — including as a former chair of UA and the Australian Technology Network of Universities.

“As one of Australia’s longest serving Vice-Chancellors, Professor Coaldrake has been an active participant in debates around higher education for many years,” Ms Jackson said

“Professor Coaldrake knows that Australian universities have a strong foundation — with world-class teaching and very high student satisfaction rates, strong employment outcomes for graduates and 90 per cent of university research ranked at world class or above.”

“He will bring a strong understanding and direct experience of the excellent teaching and research happening in our universities,” she said.

The review will hold consultations with the sector following the release of a discussion paper expected later this year.

“������˾�� looks forward to providing input to the review and representing the views of the sector,” Ms Jackson said.
