The Worker Retention Payment delivers a 15% wage increase for the ECEC workforce over two years, fully funded by the federal government. This payment is provided to LDC and OSHC services and must be passed directly to workers in the form of a pay rise.

Our dedicated campaign team is working tirelessly to ensure you can access the pay rises. Our industrial support officer is on hand to answer any questions about the scheme.
