Minister for Health. Education and the Arts

Teachers Salaries

Legislative Assembly Question No 176

Mr Wood - asked the Minister for Health, Education and the Arts on 31 May 1990:

Could he detail how teachers salaries in the ACT compare with salaries of teachers with comparable training, experience and responsibility in other States?

Mr Humphries: The answer to Mr Woods question is as follows:

Each State and Territory has differing conditions of service and entry requirements to the Government teaching profession and this makes comparison difficult.

A National Benchmark figure of $37,200 was agreed to recently by State, Territory and Federal Ministers of Education. It is expected that all States and Territories will negotiate to achieve this Benchmark.

Maximum salaries for 4 Year Trained teachers currently are as follows:

NT $37,010

TAS $31,182 (Estimate)

NSW $34,461

Vic $37,100 (Does not include 3

proposed increases of 2% at

6 month intervals)

QLD $38,630 (An offer made to

Queensland teachers prior to

the benchmark being agreed by

Ministers of Education on 1/6/90)

WA $37,020

SA $34,017

ACT $37,160
