There is, unsurprisingly, "an increase in the awareness and uptake of micro-credentialing efforts within higher education institutions in Australasia over the 12-month period" ending in 2020. Policies are being put into place; "Eighty-eight (percent) (88%) are in various states of adoption and 3 universities had well-established (Mature) adoption policies." That said, "the use of a credentialing engine still seems to be immature. While only a third of institutions indicate they use one, this is still a 13% increase from 2019." For now, institutions are targeting easy revenue: "most respondents indicated postgraduate units and short courses would be at the forefront for micro-credentialing."
