The Fair Work Commission has handed down a further Decision in the four yearly review of the Children's Services Award 2010.
The Decision extends the payment of the Educational Leaders Allowance to Educational Leaders as per Regulation 118 and employed under that award (i.e. appointed Educational Leaders with a Diploma or Certificate III qualification).
The allowance will commence from the first full pay period starting on or after 1 November 2022. It will be the same amount that already applies to Educational Leaders who are employed under the Educational Services (Teachers) Award 2020.
The current rate is $77.08 per week for a full-time educational leader and $15.42 per day for a part-time educational leader. The rate in the Children’s Services Award 2010 will be adjusted in line with the rate in the Educational Services (Teachers) Award 2020.
CCSA has been actively involved in this process to ensure the best possible outcomes for our members and the Early Childhood sector. For further guidance about application of the allowance, please contact CCSA Member Support on 1800 991 602, Option 2.
