The Katherine housing situation continues to deteriorate as the Minister and the Department ignore pleas for reintroducing subsidised housing.
The phasing out of the teacher housing subsidy in Katherine is causing problems that will only get worse unless the Government and Department reverse the cuts to the scheme.
In this bulletin: • New Territory Educator out now – updates on principal pay freeze, Katherine teacher housing subsidy and more • AEU NT elections update • National New Educators Conference, Sydney – opportunity for early career educators • Arthur Hamilton Award – recognising excellence in Indigenous education • New member database – easier to join online and log cases
The rental subsidy scheme for Katherine teaching staff will be grandfathered, bringing relief to existing employees but concerns about attracting new teachers to Katherine.
The Australian Education Union represents and advocates for all teaching staff in public education, as well as many support workers.
