Nevena and Macca talk to Professor John Buchanan, Co-Director, Mental Wealth Initiative, University of Sydney, why giving early childhood educators an extra 15% is good policy, and even better politics
From December the typical early childhood educator and carer will get a pay rise of at least $103 per week. By the following December, it will be more, taking the total to an extra $155 per week. And there will be more after that.
The two pay rises, totalling 15%, announced by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on Thursday will be completely funded by the government. It’s part of a deal in which the childcare centres that actually employ the workers agree to increase their fees by no more than 4.4% over the next year.
