Early Educators Achieve Historic Pay Rise
Early childhood educators are the cornerstone of our educational system, providing nurturing care and foundational learning experiences that shape the future of our children. Their dedication, expertise, and hard work have always been invaluable, and this pay rise is a reflection of the respect and appreciation they rightfully deserve.
The latest wage increase in early childhood education and care (ECEC) marks a significant victory for the education sector and for us. The Australian government is realising the vital role that ECEC workers play in preparing children for school with a $3.6 billion investment. This national wage increase is expected to be phased in over 2 years and includes a 10 per cent increase from December 2024, and a further 5 per cent increase from December 2025.
At eduKare, we’ve always led the way by paying our educators above-award wages, and now the industry is catching up. However, our commitment remains strong, we believe ECEC educators deserve compensation that truly reflects their invaluable role in society, and we want you to be part of this journey.
With increased funding, we’re able to make a bigger impact:
- Hire more educators and ensure they’re well-compensated.
- Open more centres, expand our offerings, and enrol more children.
- Continue supporting the children and families who need us most.
- Invest in the development of our educators and leaders, and provide educational support to our centres.
- Advocate for universal, high-quality ECEC access for all Australian families.
