Overview

• Vice-chancellor Andrew Parfitt told a Senate inquiry the prohibition notice was removed Friday and that consultation meetings will restart with a formal change proposal due within weeks.
• UTS is targeting about 400 redundancies — 150 academic and 250 professional roles — to deliver roughly A$100 million in annual savings.
• Senior executives will forgo bonuses this year, a move Parfitt said will save about A$2.5 million.
• Enrolments have been paused in 120 courses until the end of autumn 2026, affecting about 1,000 prospective students, with 33 courses drawing fewer than 10 enrolments and 31 recording none.
• TEQSA is investigating the enrolment suspensions as students and staff report distress, while disclosures show UTS spent A$44 million on consultants last year, including about A$7 million to KPMG.
