Download: CAPA’s response to the Review of the ARC Consultation Paper

The aim of the Review is to consider the role and purpose of the ARC within the Australian research system so it can meet current and future needs and maintain the trust of the research sector.

The Review will consider how the ARC’s legislation can be aligned with comparable research agencies in Australia and overseas, current and proposed activities, and develop a clear focus on objectives and processes to drive renewed ambition within the organisation.

The Review will also consider whether the scope of the current legislation is sufficient to support an effective and efficient university research system and provide recommendations.

Our submission addresses the concerns of postgraduate students in relation to the consultation prompts provided in Terms of Reference.
