The Australian Government’s May 2016 Budget will include the deregulation of university fees. However, fees may be capped rather than allowing universities to set their own fees. The Senate rejected the Government’s previous attempt to fully deregulate higher education fees, which was a key initiative in the highly unpopular 2014 Budget. The Budget will also include reduced funding for schemes such as the Higher Education Participation & Partnerships Program and the Promoting Excellence in Learning & Teaching in Higher Education program.
