Instructions
The Higher Education Participation and Partnerships Program (HEPPP) supports the government’s ambition to have 20 per cent of domestic
undergraduate enrolments at university be from people of low socio economic (SES) status backgrounds by 2020. The HEPPP operates at the
national level and aims to achieve national objectives to increase the historically poor record of low SES student participation in higher
education.
This report is to be completed by higher education providers that have received funding under the HEPPP in 2010.
The information received will be used to:
 evaluate the effectiveness and appropriateness of activities undertaken in terms of meeting the program objectives as set out in the
Other Grants Guidelines (Education) 2010; and
 inform the Institutional Performance Portfolio discussions with universities.
The Guidelines are posted at: http://www.comlaw.gov.au/comlaw/management.nsf/lookupindexpagesbyid/IP201045868?OpenDocument.
The qualitative and quantitative data collected in this Report will also inform the annual formative evaluations of the HEPPP at an institutional
level as well as the summative evaluation of the HEPPP at a national level at the end of 2014.
Please note that for financial figures, estimates may be used if actual values are not discernable. As per section 41-40 of the Higher Education
Support Act (HESA) 2003, where providers wish to rollover unspent funding from one calendar year to the next, a request for rollover must be
submitted in writing to the Secretary’s delegate from the Department, being the Branch Manager of the Quality, Indigenous and Equity Branch,
Higher Education Group. Unspent funding is taken to be granted for the same purpose. HESA is available online at:
http://www.comlaw.gov.au/comlaw/Legislation/ActCompilation1.nsf/0/91FD9474C87B50A0CA256F85000DEF57/$file/HigherEducationSupport2

4.1 Summary of institutions and participants in Partnerships activities
Note:
The objectives of the Partnership Component of the HEPPP are to increase the total number of people from low SES backgrounds who
access and participate in higher education through effective outreach and related activities with appropriate stakeholders including, but not
limited to, schools, State/Territory Governments, VET providers and community groups.
Partnership activities for prospective domestic undergraduate students from low SES backgrounds may:
(a) assist in improving the understanding and awareness of higher education as a viable post-school option;
(b) assist in pre-tertiary achievement, either at school or via an alternative pathway, to enable consideration for access to higher
education;
(c) encourage an increase in the proportion of such people who apply for attendance at a provider; and
(d) support such people in linking with higher education providers.
Subsection 1.70.1 Other Grants Guidelines (Education) 2010
Partnership activities undertaken by the provider are intended to:
(a) support collaboration between providers to ensure a coordinated approach to identifying and engaging with appropriate stakeholders
including, but not limited to, schools, State/Territory Governments, VET providers and community groups to encourage the participation of
prospective domestic undergraduate students from low SES backgrounds in higher education; and
(b) concentrate resources to most effectively target low SES communities where aspirations to enter higher education are low and where
matriculation to universities is poor.
