The report presents findings on how Australian university graduates transition from study into work and how careers can progress over time. A key feature of the research is its use of linked administrative data, which gives a detailed picture of higher education graduates’ journeys. These insights will be critical in shaping future policy.

The roadmap details the potential for a novel Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) industry that could help Australia reach net zero. CDR refers to approaches that remove CO₂ from the atmosphere.
