Acknowledgements The Quality Indicators for Learning and Teaching (QILT) survey program, including the 2021 Graduate Outcomes Survey (GOS), is funded by the Australian Government Department of Education, Skills and Employment. Without the active support of Rachel Lloyd, Phil Aungles, Dr Sam Pietsch, Gabrielle Hodgson, Ravi Ravindiran, Wayne Shippley, Dr Barbara Sidwell and Ben McBrien this research would not be possible. The Social Research Centre would especially like to thank the higher education institutions that contributed to the GOS in 2021. Without the enthusiastic and committed assistance of the survey managers and institutional planners, the 2021 GOS would not have been such a success. We are also very grateful to the graduates who took the time to provide valuable feedback about their employment, further study and experience with their course. The GOS data will be used by institutions for continuous improvement, and to monitor and improve the labour force outcomes of graduates in the short term. The 2021 GOS was led by Graham Challice, and the project team consisted of Lisa Bolton, Natasha Vickers, James Morrison, Cynthia Kim, Dr Paddy Tobias, Dean Pennay, Benjamin Desta, Gabriel Ong, Daniel Rosenblatt, Joe Feng, Luke Hand, Sean Walker and Kelsey Pool. For more information on the conduct and results of the 2021 GOS see the QILT website: www.qilt.edu.au. The QILT team can be contacted by email at qilt@srcentre.com.au. 2021 GOS International Report i
