Abstract	In response to the 2016 "Review of Australia's Research Training System," the Australian Government made a commitment to monitor and undertake analysis of issues surrounding representation of equity groups in higher degree by research (HDR) training. This report presents analysis and selected data on enrolments, commencements and completions for HDR students over the period 2006 to 2017, organised by the themes of financial support, gender, socioeconomic status (SES), regional/remote status, and disability. Some of the key findings include: (1) Access to Commonwealth fee offsets and stipends for domestic students increased over the period. Some groups have a consistently lower rate, including low SES and part-time students; (2) Women made up the majority of domestic HDR enrolments, commencements and completions. However, women were a minority in most science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields with the exception of biological sciences and other natural and physical sciences; (3) Men were well-represented in STEM but under-represented in virtually all fields of health, education and creative arts; (4) Regional and remote students, and students of medium and low SES remained significantly under-represented in the HDR student population. There was little change in the representation of these students over the period; and (5) Regional students were more likely to be older, and less likely to attend their course internally compared to metropolitan students.
