Managed Growth Targets and Needs Based Funding Submission

The Northern Australia Universities Alliance (NAUA) welcomes the opportunity to provide feedback on the implementation issues for the Managed Growth and Needs Based Funding System. The NAUA is a formal collaboration between Charles Darwin University, James Cook University and CQUniversity; those regional universities with their primary footprint in Northern Australia.

Background

Central Queensland University (CQU), Charles Darwin University (CDU) and James Cook University (JCU) are the three Australian universities headquartered in Northern Australia. We have established the Northern Australia Universities Alliance (the Alliance or NAUA) to enable us to collectively and proactively engage with the policy making and practice that is essential for the sustainable social, environmental and economic development of Northern Australia. A more detailed overview of the objectives of the Alliance is attached to this submission.
