Council of Australian Governments Reform

The Council of Australian Governments (COAG) was a formal body comprising Australian federal, state, and territory leaders. Established to improve collaboration and decision-making, it focused on key issues like health, education, and infrastructure. COAG aimed to streamline the governance process, ensuring that different levels of government worked together effectively to address national challenges and improve services for citizens. In 2020, COAG was replaced by the National Cabinet, which continues this mission with an emphasis on a more flexible and responsive approach to governance, particularly evident during crises like the COVID-19 pandemic.
