QILT makes available robust, nationally consistent performance data for Australian higher education, helping drive quality improvement. All Australian higher education institutions are eligible to participate in QILT. Currently, all 42 Australian universities and around 90 non-university higher education providers take part in the surveys.

Data collected through the QILT surveys drives the ComparED website, allowing users to easily compare data for up six universities and six study areas at once.
