We know that when early childhood educators feel valued, supported, and inspired, children thrive. That's why we offer:
At Uniting, you're rewarded for your hard work
Advance your career with hands-on training and development
And we celebrate your impact
At Uniting, we go beyond award wages to ensure our educators are paid competitively for their expertise.
We’ve also opted into the government’s Worker Retention Payment which is a commitment to fund increased wages over a 2-year period. Once Uniting's application is approved by the Department of Education, it funds a 10% increase to Award rates, with another 5% wage increase in 2025.
Wondering about early childhood educator salaries? At Uniting, we offer competitive wages above the award rate, ensuring your dedication is rewarded.
As a not-for-profit organisation, we also offer salary packaging, allowing you to pay for everyday expenses before tax, and putting more money in your pocket.
Tax-free benefits include:
Up to $15,900 annually in tax-free benefits for everyday essentials like rent, groceries, petrol, and insurance.
Up to $2,650 per year for entertainment, including meals out, taxi fares, holidays, and car hire.
Take advantage of these financial benefits and grow your career with Uniting.
Your wellbeing matters – because when you thrive, so do the children you teach. At Uniting, you'll find balance and support for your personal and professional growth while making a difference.
