When was free university education introduced in Australia?

Free university education in Australia was introduced in 1974 under the Whitlam government. This policy aimed to make higher education accessible to all Australians, regardless of their financial background.

However, free education was gradually phased out in the late 1980s and early 1990s, leading to the introduction of student fees and the Higher Education Contribution Scheme (HECS).
