The Australian Government is investing $128.5 million to support 4,001 commencing Commonwealth supported places (CSPs) over 2024 to 2027.

Growing a qualified and experienced STEM workforce to support Australia’s nuclear-powered submarine enterprise is a national priority. The scale of work required to support the enterprise will be unlike any previous shipbuilding program in Australian history and will deliver career and job opportunities for generations. These additional places will develop a pipeline of highly skilled STEM graduates who will strengthen Australia’s sovereign capabilities.

In Victoria, the following two universities were allocated places in relevant STEM areas for RMIT – 426 and The University of Melbourne – 300.
