Australia’s universities are warning further job losses are on the horizon after more than 17,000 people in the sector were left unemployed last year because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The sector’s peak body, Universities Australia, estimates about $1.8 billion in revenue was lost in 2020 compared to the year before.
