The National Centre for Student Equity in Higher Education (NCSEHE)

Based at Curtin University, The National Centre for Student Equity in Higher Education (NCSEHE) is a research and policy centre funded by the Australian Government Department of Education. The Centre will provide leadership and facilitate research in student equity across the Australian higher education sector. NCSEHE's initiatives aim to connect research, policy, and practice to increase the successful participation of disadvantaged and marginalised groups in higher education.

This will provide informed advice to policy stakeholders, decision-makers and practitioners alike. As the Australian Universities Accord will complete its review of higher education by the end of 2023, this is an exciting and opportune moment to really make a difference.
