An epic year for early childhood educators

What a week to end an EPIC year for early childhood educators!

Huge congrats to the powerhouse women who have successfully advocated for:
– A historic 15% payrise for educators – locked in this week with the Fair Work Commission
– 3 days guaranteed early education for every child
– A $1B fund to build more centres in areas of need

Every child deserves quality early education to set them up for a life of opportunity.

Opportunity that can only be delivered by early educators who are valued, respected, and rewarded.

A big shout out to:
– The Big Steppers with the United Workers Union who’ve put on their blue shirts and raised their voices again and again
– Michele Carnegie, Julie Price, and the community early learning sector – champions of reform
– Georgie Dent and The Parenthood for always standing up for educators and families

Ministers Jason Clare MP and Dr. Anne Aly have heeded the calls and acted.

Led by a Prime Minister committed to delivering universal early education as a core commitment of the government he leads.

Together, a mighty movement for Australia’s educators and children is making history.
