The Carpenter Government has welcomed the Federal Opposition's plan to increase teaching, nursing and medicine places at Notre Dame University, with a special focus on rural and regional Western Australia.
"It's no secret that we have a shortage of teachers and doctors in some parts of country WA," Mr McGowan said.
"Anything that assists in alleviating that problem is welcomed.
"We have been raising this issue with the Commonwealth Government and the Federal Education Minister Julie Bishop constantly, to no avail.
"The Federal Opposition's plan will help us deal with this pressing issue for country WA."
