Universities Accord (Opening the Doors of Opportunity) Bill 2026

Senator O'SULLIVAN (Western Australia—Deputy Manager of Opposition Business in the Senate) (11:41): These amendments relate to the publication of the average income of graduates. The coalition will support this measure. It's a simple and straightforward transparency measure that allows students, parents, taxpayers and everyone with an interest in higher education to draw a clear and direct link to how they perform in the workplace.

It will help students make informed decisions about their prospects, and it incentivises providers to align their degrees with employment outcomes. This is a sensible measure. That is why we'll support it.
