Media Release: Christmas pay rise for 16,000 early childhood educators

Today teachers and educators at Goodstart Early Learning have won big pay rises in an historic agreement.

“Today we’re seeing the ground-breaking outcome of unions and the federal government working together to lift pay and conditions across the long day care sector,” said Independent Education Union of Australia NSW/ACT Branch Secretary Carol Matthews.

“These well-deserved increases recognise and reward the indispensable work of early childhood teachers in laying the vital foundations for children’s development and lifelong learning.”
