We are often asked… “How much will I be paid?” It’s a fair question, and it seems a lot of educators are not clear on the answer, or how they can find out.
No matter if you are new to Early Childhood Education or not, the Children’s Services Award (the conditions and pay rates determined by the Government) is confusing for many.

The good news is that the Award sets out the legal minimum you should be paid, and this increases a little each year from 1 July.
