2025 Federal Election Update

Federal election on 3 May 2025 – What you need to know to support your local Catholic school.

To help you stay informed during the election, the National Catholic Education Commission (NCEC) has produced a two-page document, Catholic Education Benefits All Australians, outlining Catholic education's key priorities and its contribution to the community.

This two-page document outlines Catholic education priorities for the upcoming election. In summary, the priorities are:

• Ensure affordability and choice – every family should have the option of a Catholic education
• Address hardship, wellbeing, and disadvantage – every student deserves access to quality education and the right support, no matter their background
• Build and innovate for the future – investing in school infrastructure and support for early childhood education.
