Join the AEU 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 AEU today so we can reach a strong density before bargaining starts.

What public education needs

VALUE
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.  

BALANCE
Practical steps to reduce workload Every child deserves 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.

SUPPORT
More support for complex kids Every child deserves equal access to a great education. 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.
