Congratulations, you’ve survived 2023 and the holidays will soon be here.

As is our usual practice we will send all members a renewal notice for 2024 in November 2023. We appreciate that you are busy, and your inboxes are overflowing, but please take the time to read the renewal notice to ensure you are not overcharged. Don’t forget if you pay in full before 5 February 2024, you’ll receive a one-month discount.

If any of the changes below apply to you in 2024, we need you to let us know (your employer and/or chapter Rep will not do this for you):

•changing employer, workplace, or address

•taking leave, including unpaid leave, parental or long service

•changing your workload, and

•wanting to move to alternate payment method.

If your workload is changing in 2024, if you are taking any type of leave or changing employers, we need to know (again, your employer or Rep doesn’t advise us). Please return the renewal or contact us directly at membership@ieu.asn.au or call us on 8202 8900 – press 1.

The IEU Executive has endorsed a 4% increase in subscriptions in 2024. This will take effect from 1 January 2024. This adjustment is less than the current inflation rate and equates to an additional $20.10 per year for our top support staff rate, $31.70 per year for top teacher rate and $34.80 per year for principals, assistant principals, and those in promotion positions.

Operating costs are rising and to ensure we can keep offering you the best quality service, advice, and representation on all issues, including but not limited to wages campaigns and industrial issues affecting your employment and working conditions, we are forced to increase our fees.

Best wishes for the holidays,

Membership Team
