On behalf of TEQSA’s Commissioners, CEO and the Executive Leadership Team, we would like to thank our expert speakers and panelists for sharing their insights on how the higher education sector can better respond to the challenges across the sector in practical and actionable ways.

We’d also like to thank almost one thousand people from Australia and overseas who attended the conference – we appreciate you taking the time to join us.

About TEQSA’s 2025 Conference

Registrations this year exceeded 980. Continued strong support for this annual event, demonstrates the commitment of the sector and student participants, to the quality and integrity of Australian higher education.

Every year, the conference focuses on issues that are challenging for the sector and where TEQSA believes a response is needed.

This year, 300 participants from the sector, students and experts, took part in a half-day pre-conference workshop on actionable ways to strengthen and mature higher education governance, including student participation and voice.

Throughout the conference, keynote addresses and discussions in the conference focused on governance.

This engagement and the associated activities and outcomes support the findings of the Expert Council on University Governance and the Senate inquiry into the quality of governance at Australian higher education providers.

“The annual student forum at the conference is an opportunity for students to speak directly to TEQSA and the National Student Ombudsman about what matters to them,” Dr Mary Russell, TEQSA CEO, said.

In previous years, key topics such as academic integrity in the age of AI have drawn similar active participation from providers, students and concerned members of parliament.
