Mid-career teacher: L2.9

A teacher employed at L2.9 currently receives $113,568 gross salary and with salary increases across the three year agreement, in 2025 a teacher at this classification would receive $127,737. This represents an increase in their gross salary of $14,169 or 12.48 per cent. 

A mid-career teacher may benefit from several workload reduction initiatives being offered, including the introduction of small group tutoring to target students needing assistance with literacy and numeracy. 

As a mid-career teacher, there is an opportunity to be temporarily deployed to a teaching position in a regional school, for a period of three years. With a guaranteed right of return, this teacher could take up a role in a new school and develop their skills whilst ensuring students have access to high quality learning programs. This teacher would maintain their substantive and permanent position in their metropolitan school.
