You may have read in the media today that the AEU Branch Council members will vote on a motion to
reject the Government’s Teachers Agreement offer.
This vote will take place despite 70% of the 3 500 AEU members who participated in the poll voting to
accept, in principle, the offer put forward by the Government.
During negotiations the AEU and Government acknowledged that relief teachers in Tasmania are
currently the highest paid in Australia at $488 per day for teachers at Band 1 Level 13. The new
proposed relief hourly rate is still higher than a number of other states and territories.
I encourage you to work with the AEU over the coming days to ensure that the significant benefits that
the AEU has successfully negotiated with the Government, and that members have supported, can be
delivered.
Yours sincerely
Jeremy Rockliff MP
Deputy Premier
Minister for Education and Training
