Mission-based Compact
In the 2009-10 Budget, the Australian Government announced a 10-year reform package for the higher education sector. Reforms announced included the introduction of a demand driven funding system, significantly improved indexation on grants and the establishment of a new relationship between the Australian Government and each university through the introduction of mission-based Compacts. Mission-based Compacts are three-year agreements that show how each university’s mission contributes to the Government’s goals for higher education, and include details of major higher education and research funding and performance targets. Compacts are a joint initiative of the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR) and the Department of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research (DIISR). Higher education performance funding is a key component of the teaching and learning section of Compacts. Performance Funding will provide incentives to universities to improve outcomes for students and achieve national objectives.
La Trobe is close to finalising its Compact with the Australian Government.
