In late May, the IEU reached agreement with all NSW and ACT dioceses (except Broken Bay, which has a separate agreement) on the terms of an interim settlement agreement, which secured benefits for our support staff members, while discussions continue with dioceses about teachers’ workloads.
Many support staff members in Catholic diocesan schools have now received notice from their employer of the pay increases and any reclassifications as a result of the interim settlement. The pay rises and new classifications for support staff employed in the School Administrative Services Stream and the Classroom and Learning Support Services Stream were the result of a long campaign to establish pay parity with school administrative and support staff working in comparable roles in NSW public schools. They apply to staff in these streams who are currently classified at Levels 4, 5 and 6.
