Support the staff who support our kids

As parents and family members of students in Victorian Catholic education, we call on employers to stop getting in the way of fair negotiations for better pay and conditions, and to focus on making our schools workplaces of choice.
The working conditions of teachers, support staff and school leaders are our children's learning conditions. When staff are valued and supported, schools and students thrive.
Add your name to show support for school staff and for your child’s education.

Why is this important?
Every child deserves a great education.
That depends on schools being able to attract, support and keep great teachers, education support staff and school leaders.
Right now in Victoria, that is becoming harder:
- Catholic school staff are being denied basic bargaining rights by employers
- Workloads are unsustainable
- Schools are facing serious staff shortages
This means less time, less support, and fewer opportunities for our children.
Families invest in Catholic education and rightly expect high-quality teaching and support. However, in Victoria, Catholic education employers are spending time and money on a legal battle to deny staff these basic rights, instead of investing in the staff and schools our children rely on.
How it will be delivered
We will deliver the petition to Victorian Catholic employers and the Victorian Catholic Education Authority.
