The Project Roundtable was held in Brisbane on 28 February and 1 March 2013 (Roundtable Agenda). Following an introductory presentation by Dr. Tracey Bretag (Project Leader) and an overview of the work of the Higher Education Standards Panel by Professor David Siddle, the Roundtable brought together the project team and reference group in a collegial environment to allow participants to share the practical implementation details of exemplary academic integrity policy. Participants were encouraged to share details of institutional practices which show the efficacy of their policies in their specific contexts using the Framework for sharing best practice provided by the Project. Each participant at the Roundtable was also provided an Information Sheet , Consent Form and the Core elements paper by Bretag et al (2011).

The Roundtable provided an opportunity to public and private providers of higher education to:
- share implementation details of exemplary academic integrity policy
- adapt best practice for specific student groups
- collaborate on issues of academic integrity
Presentations were videotaped and notes were taken during the Roundtable to enable the project team to analyse and adapt current best practices for the identified student groups. The findings from the Roundtable have been disseminated via a national speaking tour by international academic integrity experts, Dr Erica Morris and Dr Tricia Bertram Gallant.
