Abstract	One of Education Minister Jason Clare’s top priorities for the Universities Accord is encouraging more Australians to go to university. As he notes, “more jobs are going to require a university qualification in the years ahead”. Alongside this call is the recognition we need to improve access for people from equity cohorts - including Indigenous Australians, those from low socioeconomic and regional and rural backgrounds and people with a disability. As the accord’s interim report notes, we need a higher education system that no longer prevents “talented people from attaining life-changing qualifications”. One way to do this is through enabling programs.
