I was thrilled at the recent announcement that a new Regional University Study Hub will be established at South West TAFE Hamilton. It will be operational later this year, providing our local students the support they need to succeed in their tertiary studies.
Regional University Study Hubs provide support to students attending university remotely, through access to dedicated study areas, a communal cohort space, dedicated IT and support infrastructure to ensure high level access and digital connectivity, as well as administrative and academic support.
I provided $39 million to establish Regional Study Hubs at 23 locations across Australia when I was Education Minister in 2018. The program has continued with bipartisan support.
