Salaries

Vicki Wright, ECE teacher. There is a wide variety of early childhood education services and pay across these services varies. Kindergarten teachers now have pay parity with primary teachers and the benefits of this should flow through into the entire early childhood sector.

In many other services salaries are negotiated in individual contracts. For details of the Kindergarten Teachers’ Collective Agreement, and other early childhood salary agreements, see below.
