For two and a half years, we have campaigned to secure a deal that addresses TAFE members' key issues and gives them the respect they deserve.
On 7 February, The AEU TAFE and Adult Provision Council endorsed an in-principle agreement for TAFE teachers.

Key highlights of the in-principle agreement include:
- Minimum 21% pay increase over four years
- First increase of at least 7.4% for all members backdated to November 2024
- Casual rates of pay increasing in line with full-time and part-time rates of pay
- Curriculum development, out-of-class assessment, planning, preparation, and student consultation time increased from 400 hours to 600 hours per year (up from the current 30 minutes to 45 minutes per teaching hour), with a consequent 200 hour reduction in non-teaching-related duties.
- All in-class assessment will be counted as face-to-face teaching.
- Improved teacher and education manager classification arrangements, including recognition of qualifications for those who have teaching as their vocational qualification or who have a higher teaching qualification.
- A cap of 20% on casual employment at each TAFE institute per semester.
