• Australia’s earliest universities were founded before Australia became a federation in 1901
• Four of Australia’s oldest universities (Universities of Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Tasmania) were the product of their colonial governments
• The remaining two establishment universities (Universities of Queensland and Western Australia) were formed shortly after federation – under state legislation
• In 1911 there were only 3,000 students enrolled in Australian universities – approximately 0.1% of the population

• In the late 1940s, Australia’s university student numbers had grown to 32,000
• By the late 1950s, the student numbers had reached 50,000
• As a result of a review that exposed chronic under-funding, the Federal Government had to step in and provide additional funding to universities from the late 1950s
• By the late 1960s, the Federal Government rationalised tertiary education into a two-tier (binary) system composed of:
– Universities
– Colleges of Advanced Education including Institutes of Technology
Post-War Expansion
www.Doctortee.net 5
• In the early 1970s, the Federal Government abolished all fees for universities and CAEs and took over full funding control of Australia’s universities
• Most Australian universities were enacted under state legislation but subsequently funded by the Federal Government - leading to confusing lines of accountability
• The only post-war exception to this anomaly was the Australian National University, enacted under federal legislation in 1946
• The post-war expansion of the Australian tertiary sector led to the establishment of 14 new universities

• In the late 1980s the Federal Education Minister (John Dawkins) abolished the binary system of universities and colleges of advanced education
• The binary system was replaced with a unified national system, and former colleges of advanced education and institutes of technology were relabelled as universities
• This led to a near doubling of the number of institutions in Australia that were labelled as universities

• Research in Australian universities is a relatively recent phenomenon
• Australia’s first PhD was only awarded in 1948 by the University of Melbourne
• Currently Australia has some 30,000 students enrolled in PhD programs
• In 2008, Australian universities received a total of $2.8 Billion in research income
• All Australian universities claim to be involved in both learning and research - however, 70% of all research funding is awarded to the eight largest universities (the Group of 8)
• The five largest universities (Monash University + Universities of Melbourne, New South Wales, Queensland and Sydney) dominate the national research landscape
