Budget 2023 provided an additional $496 million, over four years, to increase tertiary and training subsidies by 5 percent. Budget 2023’s increase in funding, together with today’s extra $128 million, will increase subsidies for degree-level and above tertiary delivery by 9 per cent for 2024 and 2025 over and above 2023 levels.
