Table A and B Higher Education providers are required to provide data to DEEWR containing details on an applicant’s demographics and application details, including an applicant’s preferences and offers made in response to an application.  The collection comprises records for all applications made for admission to a higher education undergraduate award course submitted through a Tertiary Admissions Centre (TAC) or directly to a HEP. HEPs need only submit data in respect to applications made directly to their institution. Where a HEP has an authorised application made through a TAC, the data should be submitted by that TAC.

This data will need to be provided to DEEWR as set out in the timing matrix released each year and in accordance with the scope and structure documents for each data submission.

Under Subsection 19-70(1) of the Higher Education Support Act 2003, Higher Education Providers are required to provide statistical data to the Minister and the allocation of Commonwealth Higher Education Student Support Numbers (CHESSN) to all Commonwealth assisted students.

The Ministerial Notice issued on 30 November 2009 sets out the requirements for the Higher Education Data Collection for 2010 Reporting Year.
