Sending you all a big hello and best wishes for Term 4. A big pat on the back to all of you, you’ve all made it to the final term of school year – only 10 more weeks to go!
As is our usual practice, we will send all members renewal notices in mid-November for 2023. We appreciate that you are busy, and your inboxes are forever 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 6 February 2023, you will receive a one-month discount.
If changes below apply to you in 2023, we need to know. Your employer and/or chapter rep will not do this for you. This can include:
• changing employer, workplace, or address
• taking leave, including unpaid leave, parental or long service leave
• changing your workload
• wanting to move to alternate payment method.
If your workload is changing in 2023, you are taking any type of leave or changing employers we need to know. Your employer or chapter rep does not advise us. Please return the renewal or contact us direct at membership@ieu.asn.au or phone direct on 8202 8900 – press 1.
Our Executive has decided that subscription rates will increase by 3 per cent in 2023, and this will take affect from 1 January 2023. This adjustment is less than half the current inflation rate and equates to an additional $14.60 per year for ourtop support staff rate, $23.10 per year for top teacher rate and $25.30 per year forour top rate that normally applies to principals, assistant principals, and thosein promotion positions.
Operating costs continue to grow andto ensure we are still able to offer you the best quality service, advice and representation on all issues, including wages campaigns and action on industrial issues affecting your employment and working conditions, we are driven to increase our fees.
Best wishes for the term ahead,
Membership Team
