Last week was quite something! Our first ever IDEATE Summit at ANU in Canberra.

It was wonderful to have people come together from ten different universities, as well as our industry partners, to talk about how we can do better for our students.

By collaborating rather than competing, we can improve outcomes for people with disability; Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders; women; LGBTIQA+; neurodivergent; from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds; from rural, regional and remote areas; and low socio-economic status.
