Pay rate for a Diploma Qual Assistant stepping up to GL temporarily

Hi All,

Wondering if someone could guide me to the correct level/rate for the following scenario...

2 Year Qualified diploma with 15 years experience on/off but mostly on as Room leader. Currently working as an assistant in a 2-3 year old room but have been asked to step up into Room Leader position (Leader resigned) for an unspecified amount of time while the Director finds a new Room Leader. Been at this centre for 3 years but new owners took over a year ago.

I have looked at the pay rates but can't quite work it all out correctly

Any advise will be great

TIA

As a Diploma qualified Educator in an assistant position, you will be on Level 3.4

When moving up to room leader, you should be at Level 4.2.

This for your reference: Childcare Wages In Australia

Hope this helps!
