BREAKING: CENTRES REVEAL CRISIS IN EARLY LEARNING The workforce crisis is growing with educators leaving every day. “There’s no time to waste. The Federal Government needs to commit to funding a real payrise for educators.” #auspol #ozearlyed bigsteps.org.au/breaking-centr…

This is only going to get worse. More accidents, more incidents. Pay educators and teachers more to fix the childcare crisis. theguardian.com/australia-news…

UWU members have revealed that the crisis in early learning has only deepened in this damning report. The Federal Government must fix wages in the sector. To read the full report and an analysis of findings for your state, go to: bigsteps.org.au/centre-crisis-….

UWU’s Helen Gibbons says the primary issue “driving educators to leave a sector they love” is pay. “Love doesn’t pay the bills and educators consistently tell us they can’t afford to work in a sector that pays them so poorly." @helengibbo #auspol theguardian.com/australia-news…

“For too long poverty wages have driven educators away, and now there just aren’t enough educators left to deliver the services children need. This cannot go on." 💯%! @helengibbo Big Steps Campaign theguardian.com/australia-news… #auspol

Today thousands of early childhood educators are taking national action to put the Federal Government on notice. “Pay us what we’re worth, or centres won’t stay open next year.” Read more at: bigsteps.org.au/educators-take… #auspol
