Federal Election Campaign: Securing the Future of Christian Schools in Australia

The Australian Association of Christian Schools (AACS) is calling for commitments from political parties in three key areas:

Sustainable School Funding: that is fair and equitable, allowing Christian schools to continue providing high-quality education accessible to all families

Protecting Parental Choice: upholding the rights of parents to choose a faith-based education for their children

Addressing Teacher Workforce Challenges: by encouraging new teachers to work in the independent sector and easily move to areas of need.

We invited the major political parties to respond to our policy priorities. Their responses have been uploaded HERE as we receive them - without edits or interpretation - so you can see where each party stands.

As you prepare to vote, we encourage you to carefully consider how each party’s position aligns with the values of Christian education and the future of our schools.

Your voice matters. Your vote matters.
