Member survey for teacher enterprise bargaining now open
Our member survey for teacher enterprise bargaining is now open. All eligible financial members will receive an email today with the link to the survey. This survey is open to all members employed as either a Classroom Teacher, Senior Teacher, Assistant Teacher or Principal. If you believe you should have received a link and haven’t, get in touch.

With formal bargaining about to commence, the survey responses will provide invaluable information to AEU officers and help shape the direction of bargaining.

The survey will remain open for only a short time, so please take the time to have your say.

Sign up for teacher wellbeing webinars
The first of three teacher wellbeing webinars being held exclusively for AEU NT members will take place next week. Teacher and educational wellness coach Wendy Kenbeek will hold the first session, “Reset and Recharge”, from 4-5pm on Wednesday 28 April via Zoom.

Wendy’s online webinars are intended to provide an opportunity for members to access PD with practical and immediate strategies to better support yourself and your colleagues. Attendance is free for AEU members, but registration is essential – contact the office to register.

Sub-branch rep training schedule for Term 2
The AEU Branch Office will be holding one-day training courses for sub-branch (workplace) reps in Alice Springs, Darwin and Palmerston during Term 2. Sub-branch reps have the right to take part in paid union training to better understand their role and develop skills such as negotiation, advocacy and mediation. If you are a sub-branch rep or intending to take on the position, email [email protected] by Wednesday 5 May to express your interest.
