The Education Assistants Western Australia (EAWA) and the Department of Education Western Australia (DEWA) have agreed to a new Enterprise Bargaining Agreement (EBA). This agreement will benefit education assistants and provide better working conditions for them.

Education assistants are an important part of the education system in Western Australia as they provide support to teachers in classrooms, helping students with their studies and ensuring that they receive the necessary attention and care. The role of education assistants has become increasingly important during the COVID-19 pandemic, as schools have had to adapt to new ways of teaching.

The new EBA agreement will provide education assistants with a range of benefits, including improved working conditions, increased pay, and greater job security. Under the agreement, education assistants will receive a 5% pay increase over the next two years, bringing their salaries in line with those of other public sector workers.

In addition to the pay increase, education assistants will also benefit from a range of other improvements to their working conditions. These improvements include increased leave entitlements, improved access to training and professional development, and greater job security.

The EAWA has praised the agreement, saying that it will provide much-needed support and benefits to education assistants across Western Australia. The agreement has been negotiated over the course of several months and is seen as a major achievement for education assistants.

For education assistants, the new EBA agreement is a significant step forward. It recognizes the important role that they play in the education system and provides them with the support and benefits that they need to perform their jobs effectively. As the education system in Western Australia continues to evolve, education assistants will play an increasingly important role, and the new EBA agreement will help to ensure that they are valued and supported in their work.
