Our mission is to influence and empower policymakers and institutions to drive meaningful improvement in outcomes for individuals and communities through education.
We conduct analysis and provide advice that resonates with policymakers, practitioners, learners and their families. Our work is based on an in-depth knowledge of the education sector – from early childhood through to schooling, vocational training and higher education – and a comprehensive understanding of the nation’s dynamic policy and regulatory environment.
Our highly experienced partners and directors lead a dynamic team of multi-disciplinary professionals, with backgrounds spanning labour market economics, econometrics, program evaluation, teaching, the public service, law and think tanks. Our team blends policy researchers, strategy advisers, quantitative experts proficient in model building and in drawing insights from education and labour market data, and qualitative experts with deep expertise in social research, as well as developmental, process and impact evaluations. We are part of a global network of experts in education policy and collaborate with leading academic partners, including on research and innovation.
Since 2008, we have supported state and federal governments in the development and review of major education policies and advised universities and other education institutes on matters core to their offering, pricing and workforce strategies.
We are committed to and value working collaboratively with clients and the learners and communities they serve. We know that educators and education leaders, families and children, apprentices and students are at the heart of all endeavours to improve the performance and equity of education systems. We are deliberate, thoughtful and ethical in ensuring they are at the heart of everything we do.
Our team of education experts apply the latest quantitative and qualitative techniques across all our work. We regularly publish in academic journals, speak at key summits and author thought leadership reports.
We offer the following capabilities:
We ensure all our analysis is tailored to the unique circumstances of each assignment and geared towards transferring knowledge to our clients.
By thoughtfully combining our renowned and ever-expanding capabilities, we are constantly extending the depth and richness of the advice we provide.
Deloitte Access Economics has a deep and contemporary understanding of the Australian education sector, having advised governments - at the state and federal level - on the most significant reforms over recent years.
