Excellent summary.

Also of interest:

"$26.1 million over four years from 2021-22 to assist non-university 
higher education providers to attract more domestic students through 
offering 5,000 additional short course places in 2021

• $9.4 million in 2021-22 to provide grants of up to $150,000 to 
eligible higher education and English language providers to support 
innovative online and offshore education delivery models"

`From Budget Paper Number 2, Part 1: Receipt Measures, Australian 
Government, 18 May 2021: 
https://budget.gov.au/2021-22/content/bp2/download/bp2_02_receipt.pdf#page=7

Funding for non-university short courses will be challenge universities 
geared up to offer deliver long degree courses. Also the funding to move 
English language training online and offshore might show a way out of 
the current crisis for other course offerings.
