**Day 4:** Phone a Friend
This campaign is powered by conversations.
Today, we're asking you to pick up the phone and chat to 5 friends, family members or colleagues about what's at stake for TAFE at the next federal election.
Not sure what to say? We’ve got you covered with some talking points to help get the conversation started.
The Albanese Government’s free TAFE initiative has been life-changing, but now it is at risk.
Free TAFE has significantly reduced financial barriers, making vocational education accessible to a new generation of students.
For TAFE teachers, the renewed government focus on TAFE after long- term neglect provides confidence in the future of the vocational education sector, and better prospects for long- term career security.
But if Peter Dutton wins the election, he will cut free TAFE. The Coalition has already stated that they will cut free TAFE if elected.
TAFE can’t afford to go backwards.
I urge you to use your vote to protect free TAFE.
