Higher Education Support Act

The Higher Education Support Act (HESA) is an Australian law that provides the framework for government funding and support for higher education institutions, such as universities and colleges. It outlines how these institutions can receive financial assistance, the responsibilities they have in managing that funding, and the standards they must meet. HESA aims to ensure the quality of higher education and improve access for students, including provisions for scholarships and student loans, ultimately fostering a skilled workforce and advancing education in Australia.
