Welcome to the second last issue of Newsmonth for the year. Print copies will land in your letterbox this week; you can also access the publication through the links below.

Now’s the time to stand together for a better deal for independent schools. Don’t miss our update on bargaining for teachers and professional and operational staff – it’s not over yet.

In Catholic systemic schools, bargaining for teachers and support staff is just starting, so we explain what’s in our claim. 

Don’t miss the big union wins in the early childhood education and care sector, including a ground-breaking deal for teachers at non-profit long day care provider Goodstart; as well as progress in negotiations for teachers in NSW community preschools.

Get inspired by the winners of the 2024 IEU Environment Grants (jointly sponsored by TMB) and read about our members’ innovative proposals. 

Finally, read about the Spirit on Country Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Conference, where IEU members gathered on Country to explore the theme of Learning Together: Then, Now and Always.
