Abstract

Australia, reflecting a global trend, is seeking to capitalise on the knowledge economy by widening participation in higher education at both the undergraduate and postgraduate level (Australian Government, 2009; Gale, 2014; Samuel & Mariaye, 2014). The broader inclusion of people who might not previously have attended university, such as Indigenous people and people with disabilities, is increasingly recognised as crucial to future economic growth, international competiveness and national prosperity (Bradley, Noonan, Nugent, & Scales, 2008; Lomax-Smith, Watson, & Webster, 20111).
