Hi everyone,

I'm looking for some help, I am really confused at what my pay rate should be. I am the government required ECT teacher in my centre, and have worked here for over 3 years. What level does this position put me on the Children's Services Award 2010?

Thanks!

Hi,

As an ECT teacher you would be on the Educational Services Teacher Award 2010, unless you are a Director then you would remain on the Children's Services Award...pretty confusing!

When completing your degree you're typically either 3 or 4 year trained and this will make a difference of your pay. As a 3 year trained ECT you begin at Level 1 and as a 4 year trained ECT you begin at Level 3.

So, the minimum salary are as follows:

Level 1 - 3 year trained: $39,640/per year
Level 3 - 4 year trained: $41,558/per year

In the Award it also states a full time employee working in early childhood service (LDC) will be paid an additional 4%.

I'm also adding the Educational Services Teachers Award 2010 for your reference:
