Every vote counts!

To help you make an informed decision this election, we’ve outlined where the major political parties and Independents stand on the issues that matter most to Independent schools and our communities.

Where the Parties Stand on Our Five Policy Priorities

Our five key priorities are essential to protecting family choice, supporting vulnerable students, and ensuring fairness and equity across Australia’s education system.

Our 5 Key Policy Priorities

Scorecard

We’ve created a detailed Scorecard to evaluate each party’s position on our priorities. This Scorecard will be updated as we receive responses from the parties and key Independents.

What we’ve told the politicians

We’ve written letters to all major parties, the leader of each party and key Independents (Allegra Spender, Dr. Sophie Scamps, Dr Monique Ryan, Kate Chaney, Senator David Pocock, Zoe Daniel), seeking their responses to our five key policy priorities. These letters highlight the importance of protecting school choice and funding stability to support students.
