The committee was to rationalise and facilitate procedures for selection of applicants seeking admission. Deakin University was incorporated into the group in 1979 and the committee was later expanded to include colleges of advanced education. The committee was funded by participating institutions and staff were employed by Monash and permanently seconded to the committee.
