Happening now outside the Fair Work Commission in Sydney: the IEU is filing a special application with the Fair Work Commission to lift the pay of teachers and educators in more than 100 community-based preschools throughout NSW. #NSWpol @CELAust

📰IEU launches pay rise campaign for preschools “Teachers, children, parents and the community at large only stand to gain from a strong preschool sector. We need to unite for change.” @SecretaryIEU Carol Matthews educationmattersmag.com.au/ieu-launches-p…

This International Women's Day, we say “no more cupcakes!” 🧁 We want action and change. We celebrate the hard-fought wins but we won't stop fighting for gender equality. #IWD2024 #investinwomen

On #InternationalWomensDay the IEU is proud to have achieved pay rises in the Catholic systemic sector in 2023: ✅ NSW teacher salary increases in NSW of 8%-12% ✅ ACT teacher salary increases of 11%-19% ✅ Support staff increases of 6.5%-20%. #InvestInWomen #IWD2024

The IEU welcomes 100 more public preschools. But most NSW pre-schoolers now go to not-for-profit, community-based preschools which should also be properly funded, with fair pay for teachers/educators. We call for quality early education in all preschools! smh.com.au/politics/nsw/t…

Last year we saw unprecedented pay increases for teachers and support staff in government and Catholic systemic schools. Now it is time for independent schools to match the pay rises in other education sectors. publications.ieu.asn.au/newsmonth-242/…

Welcome back to all IEU members. We set the bar high in 2023 with historic pay rises, let’s make 2024 just as memorable. I look forward to working with you all again to advance your professional interests. Not a member? Join us: ieu.asn.au/why-join-us/jo…

The IEU salutes outgoing @TeachersFed President @AGavrielatos. In 2022 the IEU & Teachers Federation under Angelo's leadership stood together to smash the then NSW Govt's salary cap and ultimately achieve historic pay rises for teachers. ✊Teachers united will never be defeated!
