The Higher Education Information Management System (HEIMS)

On 13 May 2003, the then Commonwealth Minister for Education, Science and Training announced the then Government’s comprehensive Higher Education Reform package, Our Universities: Backing Australia’s Future. 

The reform package announced the establishment of a new web-based information management system called the Higher Education Information Management System (HEIMS) to assist in the management of the new reform arrangements for students, higher education providers (HEPs) and DEEWR.

HEIMS will be developed and implemented by DEEWR in consultation with HEPs and other relevant stakeholders. It will be a web-based system comprising of student, financial, programme management, and data modules and a mix of public and private information to be used mainly by HEPs, students and DEEWR staff.
