The claim

The enterprise agreements applying to teachers and support staff in Catholic Systemic schools in NSW and the ACT expired on 31 December 2021.

For teachers, the IEU is seeking pay rises of 10% to 15% over two years in line with the NSW Teachers Federation claim.

For support staff, the IEU is seeking pay parity with their counterparts in government schools.

We are also seeking various improved conditions, including reduced teaching loads solutions to staff shortages.
