Want to improve an enterprise agreement offer like Victorian Educators did? Join the Australian Education Union today.
Big wins aren’t given freely; they’re fought for and won by a large and powerful membership. That means everyone needs to help educators join the Australian Education Union today so we can reach a strong density before bargaining starts.
From complex student needs to tailored teaching, the expectations and responsibilities of public education have changed, it’s time for the conditions of public educators to catch up.
Pay that reflects the demands of the work
Australians believe every child deserves a great education.
Unfortunately, we're losing amazing public educators from preschools and schools every day.
Protecting a child's right to a great education means keeping great educators in our classrooms. That starts with salaries that reflect the importance, skill and demands of the work.
Practical steps to reduce workload
Kids needs plenty of time with an amazing educator as they learn and grow.
But too many educators are bogged down in administration. Time that should be spent educating and supporting students is increasingly consumed by administration.
We need a better balance that ensures important information is collected while keeping the focus on students and restoring work-life balance for educators.
More support for complex kids
Only with equal access to a great education can every child thrive.
But increased student behaviour and learning complexity means some kids are missing out. Students have more complex needs than ever before and require greater support to learn and thrive.
Classroom staffing must reflect that reality. When students receive the support they need, everyone benefits.
