The Higher Education Report for the 2004 to 2006 Triennium provides an overview of the higher education sector in 2003, including the higher education reform package, new Australian Government policies and recent sector developments.  It reviews the performance of higher education institutions in delivering student places and other Australian Government-funded outcomes in 2003; and presents information on funding allocations to assist universities with their forward planning.  It also outlines the triennium projections and allocations for the period 2004 to 2006.  2005 represents the first year in which the majority of the Government’s higher education reforms will be introduced.  Projections and allocations for 2004 are set out in the various tables and figures throughout the report, as is the expected Australian Government expenditure on higher education programmes administered through the Education, Science and Training portfolio under HESA for 2005 and 2006.  The body of the report does include the new allocations for 2006 from the Capital Development Pool announced in December 2003 as well as forecast estimates on HECS liabilities, payments and accumulated debts to 2005–06.
