Catholic systemic members – sign the petition


The ten NSW and ACT Catholic dioceses (excluding Broken Bay) have rejected our claims to improve leave entitlements for general employees and match workload improvements for teachers in NSW government schools.

The IEU is calling on employers and principals to:

  • Agree to match the workload improvements in NSW government schools (meetings limited to 10 hours per term including briefings and 50% of the time during PD days to be teacher-directed)
  • Improve leave for general employees, in particular long service leave, to match that applying in NSW government schools for long-serving employees

We need you to show your support for our claims.


Please note that the petition is for IEU MEMBERS ONLY. If you are not yet a member, join the union today and have your say.
