The Department of Education is working with Australia’s higher education and research sector to counter risks of foreign interference.
The department is an active member of the University Foreign Interference Taskforce and supports universities by:
- Working with the sector to enhance understanding of the risk environment.
- Monitoring universities’ implementation of the Guidelines to Counter Foreign Interference in the Australian University Sector.
- Developing resources and guidance to support universities’ mitigations.
This page serves as a hub for university staff and researchers to use as they build their resilience to foreign interference.
