Anna, a regional director at Campus Plus, presented the final 2024 update for the National Industry PhD Programme. In 2024, the programme received 329 applications, granted 116 awards, and has 89 awards currently in progress. Campus Plus hosted in-person training and networking sessions across Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth, and Sydney, which received positive feedback from candidates.

For 2025, the most significant change is replacing iio with a purpose-built grant management system (NIPH Programme GMS) designed to streamline applications and reduce administrative burden. The system will launch for Round Five in February 2025, with comprehensive support including training videos, manuals, weekly updates, and virtual help sessions throughout January-March. Campus Plus thanked university grant officers for their partnership in making the programme successful.
