The SSTUWA has received a second offer from the Department of Training and Workforce Development (DTWD) in regard to the 2023 General Agreement (TAFE Lecturers).
Highlights of this improved offer include:
1. Salary increases of:
2. Introduction of a new Grade 9 classification.
3. An increase in the number of Advanced Industry Lecturers by 50 FTE across the five TAFE colleges.
4. Increase to the Country Incentives Allowance.
The TAFE Committee has given in principle agreement to the offer. Pending finalisation of clauses and associated documentation, the matter will proceed to a ballot of all TAFE members.
The SSTUWA Executive Committee endorsed this process yesterday and the union has formally notified DTWD of this decision.
All work bans are now lifted pending the outcome of the member vote on this issue. The SSTUWA will now move as quickly as possible to finalise the wording on the remaining clauses and associated documentation.
After the drafting has been completed full information on the proposed new agreement will be shared with TAFE members prior to a ballot. Please check your Enews regularly for further updates.
