Care-experienced students and equity support provision: an investigation of Australian university websites
This paper investigates the presence of support information on university websites, with a specific focus on care-experienced young people. Engaging with extant research about the university and college choice process as it involves marketing of higher education internet sites, the paper is based on a national scan of equity support provision on Australian university websites. This paper posits that there is an extra element in the ‘phased decision-making’ for people with additional needs in universities that is yet to be recognised by higher education institutions in Australia. The website scan and analysis found significant gaps in essential information for care-experienced young people and highlights that current practices on institutional websites concentrate on marketing. The lack of information for applicants with additional needs arguably deepens disadvantage and the marketised nature of higher education information contradicts the tertiary goals of equitability of access

A framework for test measurement selection in athlete physical preparation
Preparing athletes for competition requires the diagnosis and monitoring of relevant physical qualities (e.g., strength, power, speed, endurance characteristics). Decisions regarding test selection that attempt to measure these physical attributes are fundamental to the training process yet are complicated by the myriad of tests and measurements available. This article presents an evidenced based process to inform test measurement selection for the physical preparation of athletes. We describe a method for incorporating multiple layers of validity to link test measurement to competition outcome. This is followed by a framework by which to evaluate the suitability of test measurements based on contemporary validity theory that considers technical, decision-making, and organisational factors. Example applications of the framework are described to demonstrate its utility in different settings. The systems presented here will assist in distilling the range of measurements available into those most likely to have the greatest impact on competition performance
