NewsExtra: Broken Bay pay increases
Broken Bay Pay Increases
As members will be aware, the IEU negotiated a new enterprise agreement, the Catholic Schools Broken Bay Enterprise Agreement 2023 (the EA), to apply to teachers and support staff earlier this year.
The EA provides that teachers in Broken Bay must be paid at least 1.5% more than rates applying in NSW Government schools. Following a sustained political and industrial campaign, teachers in government and Catholic systemic schools achieved a significant pay rise from the first pay period on or after 9 October 2023. This increase was therefore paid to teachers in Broken Bay.
Under the EA support staff receive the same increases as those paid to teachers. This means support staff will also receive 8% from the first pay period after 9 October 2023. This is higher than the 4% increases received by support staff in July in other dioceses and in government schools.
The IEU understands these pay rises have been implemented in the current pay period.

Thanks for your support
The IEU thanks all our members for your support in this long campaign. We still have much to do to remedy unsustainable teacher workloads, but we thank members for their work in addressing this issue through discussions at school level. We also welcome the moves of the NSW Government in attempting to improve teacher workload, through regulatory and policy change.
Please encourage any colleagues who have not yet joined the union to do so – click here. We are stronger together.
