    Tertiary education policy in Australia
    Centre for the Study of Higher Education (Centre for the Study of Higher Education, 2013)
    The chapters focus on most of the main policy issues facing tertiary education in Australia in the last five years and in the three years to come. The chapters are research-based but prepared in a reader-friendly style to enhance discussion. They do not form a unified whole: there is no party line and some authors differ from others. The value of these chapters lies in their expertise. The authors are at the cutting edge of the issues they discuss. We hope that by treating the issues seriously here, other voices (lay and expert) will be encouraged and knowledge will advance, enabling better policies. Discussion alone does not achieve good government, but it provides better conditions for that objective. (From introduction)

    The attractiveness of the Australian academic profession: a comparative analysis
    COATES, HAMISH ; Dobson, Ian ; EDWARDS, DANIEL ; Friedman, Tim ; GOEDEGEBUURE, LEO ; Meek, Lynn (LH Martin Institute, University of Melbourne & Australian Council for Educational Research & Educational Policy Institute, [2009])
    This briefing provides an analysis of challenges facing the sustainability and development of the academic workforce in Australia. It draws together insights from national statistics collections and a number of recent studies, sheds light on current characteristics of the academic profession, and identifies key problem areas. From a review of the evidence, we argue that now is the time for both policy action at the national and institutional level to address these problems, and for further research that can inform workforce planning and development in the years to come.
