REEF INDEX

HERG is regularly called upon to provide public commentary. HERG work has been cited in the Australian Parliament (Hansard Senate 6 September 2017 page 26) as a contribution to the understanding of "real productivity opportunities" for Australian higher education. The Minister of Education - Senator Simon Birmingham - has described the work as "ground breaking" (reported in Australian Financial Review August 28th 2017)... HERG can provide information and analysis to Government, based on overall efficiency, relative to each institution, or groups of institutions, and to others rather than just scale or capacity. Government may seek to have efficiency measures that are not just cash flow based. Seeking genuine underlying efficiency may be seen a better targeted mechanism to give effect to public policy settings... HERG also works with university executives to create strategies to increase institutional efficiency.
