Using the student voice to improve higher education

The Quality Indicators for Learning and Teaching (QILT) are a suite of government endorsed surveys for higher education, across the student life cycle from commencement to employment.

QILT makes available robust, nationally consistent performance data for Australian higher education, helping drive quality improvement.

Graduate Outcomes Survey (GOS)

The GOS is a national survey of recent graduates which measures employment outcomes, salaries, skills utilisation, further study activities, and graduate satisfaction.

Graduate Outcomes Survey – Longitudinal (GOS-L)

The GOS-L is completed by graduates three years after completing their studies. The survey measures graduates’ medium-term employment outcomes and further study activities.

Employer Satisfaction Survey (ESS)

The ESS is the only national survey that systematically measures how well graduates from Australian higher education institutions meet employer needs.
