Uni & TAFE

Education is a basic human right and a public good that should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their background or financial situation. 

For too long, the Labor and Liberal parties have allowed rising fees, crushing student debt, and insecure conditions for staff to undermine Australia’s higher education system.

The Greens are working to transform universities and TAFEs by making education free, fair, and accessible while ensuring staff are treated with dignity. 

By investing in students, staff, and sustainable infrastructure, we can create a system that prioritises learning, equity, and public good over profits.

Wipe Student Debt

No one should start their working life burdened by tens of thousands of dollars in student debt. 

The Greens are focused on abolishing student debt and making education free and accessible for all, giving everyone a fair go and breaking cycles of disadvantage created by unaffordable uni fees.

The Greens' plan:

  • Abolish all student debt, including HELP, SFSS, and VET, starting 1 July 2025, ensuring students are no longer saddled with decades of repayments.

 

More information on this policy initiative will be released soon.
