After a constructive phase of negotiations, an agreement was reached with the unions on a series of industrial agreements for 2019 and 2020. When agreements are still being negotiated, they are pursued by the competent agency, with the assistance of the State Services Management Office. This is achieved through the hiring of additional teachers. “There will [also] be more specialized teachers in schools for areas like MINT,” Richardson said. The agreement also provides for two fewer hours of attendance classes in two weeks for primary school teachers; Time used instead to “tailor learning to the individual needs of students”. “The difficulty of recruiting teachers in regional and isolated schools is recognized by the improvement of leave conditions for these hard-to-fill areas.” Helen Richardson, president of AEU Tasmania, said the new agreement addressed the issue of excessive workload, which is the main concern of teachers. “New teachers will receive more support early in their careers through an extra hour per week, which will help us keep our best and brightest educators,” richardson said. The agreement would also recognise teaching assistants as “para-professionals”, which could put an end to the practice of dismissing them without pay during school holidays. In addition to the additional payment of 2.35 percent that was recently guaranteed for teachers, a salary increase of 4.2 percent over three years was included in the agreement, bringing the overall increase to 6.55 percent. “We appreciate our hard-working teachers and the work they do to help students, and we hope this new agreement will be supported to ensure our teachers can get the benefits they offer.” The following agreements have been concluded and are being developed in collaboration with trade unions in order to be registered by ICT in the near future: copies of these agreements are available on the ICT website.

Here`s what`s still being negotiated with the unions: “Both our board and our board have adopted proposals that encourage members to vote YES in a binding vote,” Richardson said. Teachers have come out in favor of a new “national” wage agreement that would give them a salary increase of more than 6 percent over three years. “Members will now have the opportunity to take this into account,” he said. In a big breakthrough, the Australian Education Union Branch Council approved the new two-year teachers` agreement and recommended that its members vote in favour of it in a binding vote to be held at the start of the fourth term. The détente between the Union and the Land government comes after more than a year of negotiations. Paid parental leave would be increased to 16 weeks and the continued payment of superannuation during work allowance or family leave will be implemented. Treasurer Peter Gutwein welcomed the support given by the ITA Board and the Council to the recent teachers` agreement and said: “Ultimately, it is the students who will be the winners.” The following are both registered and in force with the Tasmanian Industrial Commission (TIC). . .
