WHO WE ARE
Universities Australia is the voice of Australia’s universities.
As the peak body for the sector, we advocate for the vast social, economic and cultural value of higher education and research to Australia and the world.
On behalf of our 39 member universities, we provide expert policy advice, analysis and statistical evidence, and media commentary on higher education.
We make submissions, develop policy across the sector, represent Australia’s universities on government and industry-appointed bodies and partner with university sectors in other countries to enable bilateral and global collaborations.
We build capacity across the Australian university sector through our flagship annual conferences and high-level policy workshops throughout the year.
And we lift the profile of the extraordinary contributions made by university graduates and research to our society and economy, including through our award-winning public awareness campaign Keep It Clever.
Through Universities Australia and our subsidiary Higher Ed Services, member universities also have access to collective procurement and licensing agreements.
Universities Australia is funded by annual contributions from member universities.

Why us
OUR HISTORY
Universities Australia was established on 22 May 2007 as the peak body for the university sector.
It is the successor to the Australian Vice-Chancellors’ Committee — founded in May 1920.
Vice-Chancellors from Australia’s then six universities in Sydney founded the committee to advance higher education through cooperative and coordinated action.
The committee changed its name to Universities Australia following a 2006 review which recommended restructuring the organisation into a peak industry body with a broader representative role for the sector.
