Workshop Program    (22.3 KB) or RTF    (50.3 KB)

Following on from the recommendations made in 2004 by Professor Gus Guthrie in Further Development of the National Protocols for Higher Education Approval Processes, and the release of the Issues Paper Building University Diversity, including submissions received, a National Workshop was held in Melbourne on 17 August 2005.

The workshop was run under the auspices of the Ministerial Council on Education, Employment, Training and Youth Affairs (MCEETYA  ), and was convened in order to provide stakeholders with a further opportunity to discuss Australia’s future accreditation and approval processes for higher education in the lead up to MCEETYA’s higher education meeting in November 2005.

An issues paper prepared by Professor Geoff Wilson, AM was circulated before the workshop.  The workshop was attended by over 100 key stakeholders, and a report on the outcomes of the workshop informed deliberations of the Joint Committee for Higher Education, which then recommended changes to MCEETYA.
