CAQA Groups welcomes the new federal government.

The new federal government in Australia has been welcomed by CAQA Groups. The organisation said that the new government brings with it a "fresh perspective" on many issues and that they hope to see positive changes in the way the Australian education and training sector is governed.

We are pleased to see that the new government has made a commitment to work collaboratively with the provinces and territories on a wide range of issues, including education and training, climate change, energy, infrastructure and trade. We believe that this cooperation is essential to ensuring Australia's continued prosperity.

We urge the new Government to invest in education so that all students have the opportunity to reach their full potential. We believe that education is the key to unlocking Australia's future potential, and we must do everything we can to ensure that all students have access to quality education.

We also hope that the new Government will continue to support both private and public education providers equally. We believe that all students deserve access to quality education, regardless of their background or circumstance.

We believe that the new government's commitment to improving the quality of life for all Australians will help us achieve our goal of making Australia a world leader in quality assurance. We look forward to working with the government to make this a reality.
