I saw a figure elsewhere that Australia have close to 30% with tertiary qualifications but that is skewed by the fact that there is a preference for tertiary credentialed immigrants and foreign students who have chosen to stay in Aus post graduation.
The charts above are interesting because they indicate that women have passed out men in Uni registrations and that the foreign student intakes has risen consistently since the user pays HECS system was instituted in 1989.
