The 2025 Federal Election has been announced and we are calling staff, parents and supporters from all CSA member schools to join us at one of the Forums near you.

The Christian Schools Election Forums will be attended by local candidates and current members of parliament who will be engaging with those in attendance. This is our chance to highlight the issues important to Christian schools and to articulate the election commitments that we are seeking from all sides of politics. Put simply, these commitments are:

  • Freedom for Faith
  • Focus on Flourishing
  • Fairness in Funding

Make sure your voice is heard by coming to a forum located in your State. Below are links to register for the forums in your location.

About the Forums

These forums aim to inform community members—including staff, parents, and broader supporters—about the key issues impacting Christian education and how they can advocate for faith, flourishing, and funding in the upcoming election. This event is non-partisan in nature; we will not be telling people how to vote, but we will be explaining the three election commitments that impact the ability of Christian schools to effectively operate into the future.

Our hope is that parents will continue to choose a school, which supports their own values and beliefs.

Commitments Sought

  • Freedom for Faith
  • Focus on Flourishing

Commitments Christian Schools Australia are seeking at this Federal Election

Freedom for Faith

CSA requests that parties commit to introducing legislation that will create a positive right for religious expression, including in the management of religious schools, into Commonwealth law.

Focus on Flourishing

CSA calls on parties to acknowledge the link between religious formation and overall flourishing of young Australians and ensure ideology has no place in school programs and curriculum.

Fairness in Funding

CSA requests that parties commit to retaining current funding levels for Christian schools so that they remain affordable and accessible for Australian families.
