White paper: Unlocking Australia’s Capability Economy

Australia is entering a new era where skills, capabilities and lifelong learning matter more than traditional credentials alone. As AI reshapes work and industries evolve faster than ever, we need national infrastructure that recognises what people can actually do — not just what they’ve studied.

This white paper outlines a sector-led, government-enabled plan to build that infrastructure and is a summary of a collaborative project between HEDx and MortarCAPS Higher Learning Data Standard.
