In-school enabling programs provide a pathway to university for students who lack access to, or do not thrive in the Australian Tertiary Admission Rank system. This report finds these programs are academically rigorous and prepare students for the transition to higher education, mitigating some of the disadvantages students from equity groups typically face.

This report provides a summary of the outcomes and satisfaction of students who undertook nationally recognised vocational education and training (VET) delivered by registered training organisations in Australia during 2025.

This report examines the relevance of the Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR). Reflecting on its purpose, the analysis asks, for whom is it working; is its use changing; and what are the implications for national education policy objectives. It finds three in ten school leavers are now admitted to university without reference to an ATAR.

This interim report proposes that better support for Australians to transition through education and work are key to a stronger economy. It presents draft recommendations focused on three key policy reform areas: the best resources to improve school student outcomes, building skills and qualifications for a more productive workforce, and fit-for-purpose occupational entry regulations.

Transition to Work aims to provide intensive pre-employment support to improve the work readiness of young people at risk of long-term unemployment and help them into work or education. This evaluation focused on the program's impact on participants’ human capabilities, recidivism, longer-term impacts and the extension of the maximum duration of service.
