This is huge! The Federal Government (the government) has just announced a groundbreaking 15% wage increase for our amazing early childhood educators! This is a monumental step towards recognising the invaluable contributions of these dedicated professionals to our children's development and future. This historic investment of $3.6 billion demonstrates the government's commitment to fairer compensation and support for our early childhood education workforce. Goodstart has always ensured we paid our educators and teachers above award wages, but we needed government support to give them the professional wages they deserve. Today’s announcement demonstrates our nation values and prioritises the wellbeing and professional growth of our Early Childhood Educators and the children and families they support.
