The next Federal Election will be held on Saturday 3 May and it is important to consider how your vote will impact your child’s education.

In calling the election, the Prime Minister Anthony Albanese MP highlighted a number of key issues for Catholic Education including school choice and “fair funding for every school”.

National Catholic Education Executive Director Jacinta Collins said Catholic Education will focus on these issues as well as ensuring Catholic schools can continue to operate and teach as faith-based schools, support for disadvantaged students, student mental health and wellbeing, teacher workforce issues, and building and innovating for the future.
