The MIT Management Team recently participated in the TEQSA 2025 National Conference with the theme Trust, Transparency, Transformation, Australia’s only dedicated sector-focused event centred on assuring quality and integrity in higher education.

This year’s conference highlighted the rapid changes shaping the sector, including technological advancements, shifting demographics and increasing global pressures. Expert speakers and panel discussions explored key points that will influence the future of higher education, such as:

• How higher education can support Australia in achieving its productivity potential.
• Ways institutions can apply systems thinking to manage regulatory risks and build trust.
• TEQSA’s forward priorities and the balance between innovation and regulatory expectations.
• Navigating the changing international education landscape.
• The impact of AI on the future of work.
• How regulatory and governing bodies collaborate to strengthen trust across the sector.

With inspirational speakers, thought-provoking discussions and two dedicated networking receptions, the conference provided MIT’s leadership team with valuable insights and strategic perspectives to support continuous improvement and future-focused planning.

MIT looks forward to applying these learnings to further strengthen quality, integrity and innovation across our teaching, learning and student experience.
