Abstract
Welcome to our second issue for 2018. In February we opened the year with the publication of Volume 9(1), a special issue dedicated to the top papers from the 6th Biennial National Association of Enabling Educators of Australia (NAEEA) Conference which was hosted by Southern Cross University at the Gold Coast, Australia in December 2017. Shortly after this Conference, the Australian Government announced that undergraduate funding was to be capped at 2017 levels, effectively stopping the demand driven funding system for high education in Australia. With that backdrop Volume 9(1) was a timely opportunity to consider the impact of disruption, and as perceptions of the value of higher education are challenged, to reiterate the value of supporting access and equity to higher education institutions.

Summary
Welcome to our second issue for 2018. In February we opened the year with the publication of Volume 9(1), a special issue dedicated to the top papers from the 6th Biennial National Association of Enabling Educators of Australia (NAEEA) Conference which was hosted by Southern Cross University at the Gold Coast, Australia in December 2017. The Biennial NAEEA Conference brought together educators and practitioners to collaborate on issues of relevance to enabling pathway programs leading to undergraduate university education. After this Conference, the Australian Government announced that undergraduate funding was to be capped at 2017 levels, effectively stopping the demand driven funding system for high education in Australia. The work of sharing good practice in student engagement and the relevance of research across the sector has been recognised at a national level Both Student Success and the annual STARS Conference have been cited in an Australian government discussion paper on Improving Completion, Retention and Success in Higher Education (2017). Instigated by the Minister for Education and Training, Senator Simon Birmingham, the report cites both the STARS Conference and the Journal as examples of sharing best practice across universities and non-university higher education providers and as an important element in improving student success and retention (p.51)
