Universities Australia is urging both major parties to be bold and ambitious in their vision and support for Australia’s universities as the next federal election looms.

Our 2025 federal election statement outlines how universities can help the next federal government build a stronger, more prosperous Australia in the face of new challenges and opportunities.

Australia’s universities have a central role to play in ensuring our country can navigate all that lies ahead. They are national assets and should be treated as such, receiving bipartisan support to grow and succeed in the national interest.
