Recommendations:

• Establish Cooperative Teaching Centres as centres of teaching excellence in specialist social professions disciplines. This will provide seed money for the development of shared teaching resources and will encourage and support cross-institutional collaboration
• Reclassify social welfare courses to the same CGFC as allied health or clinical psychology. Align the CGFC decisions with the pedagogic requirements of teaching, social and economic need, and future graduate income.
• Monitor and report on the availability and discontinuation of specialist courses across the sector and prevent closure (similar to protection of low-availability foreign languages).  
• Provide additional support for the provision of specialist courses in social professions where there are skills shortages or unmet social needs through lower student contribution costs
• Teaching funds for teaching related activities: Where student places are supported by Commonwealth Grants Scheme (CGS), limit the capacity of universities to divert funds away from teaching and student services.
• Teaching recognition: Instigate or reinstate programmes that give status to university teaching that responsive to social needs, values community service, and support human well-being.
• University funding models: adjust to reduce barriers to collaboration between universities, and to actively support provision of diverse specialist collaborative courses to meet specialist social, cultural and economic needs.
