Deloitte
New funding realities, expectations, markets and models create significant challenges and opportunities for Australian education providers. Deregulation means that higher education institutes and universities are more reliant on second and third flows of income to finance their institutes.

This policy shift has had a considerable impact and the sector is also facing:
  • increasing competition
  • integration of university education and higher vocational education
  • changes in costing methods
  • accommodation restructuring

Juggling economic pressures and stakeholder sensitivities in the education environment can be difficult, but Deloitte understands this paradigm and is the leading service provider to education institutions across Australia.

Our extensive experience and collaborative approach helps to deliver greater value for all stakeholders.
