Day of Action Poster

Hang this poster in your preschools and in your communities! Help us get the word out about the Day of Action, 15 October, 11:30 am!

Pay Comparison Flyer

This flyer walks through the pay gaps that exist between teachers in preschools, long day care and primary schools. Despite having the same qualifications and roles, community preschool teachers earn up to 15% less than their colleagues in long day care and up to 30% less than those in primary schools. This difference is unsustainable for the health of the sector.
