C&K’s “children first” claim at risk as staff are put last

16 September, 2025

IEU members working in Creche and Kindergarten (C&K) branch centres are voting no this week to the employer’s plan to retain outdated working conditions for teachers and staff.

C&K are proposing working conditions for staff at over 140 Queensland kindergartens that provide:

  • No real action on the teacher workload crisis with kindergarten directors getting no extra time to do their jobs.
  • No guarantee wages or super co-contributions will match the public sector.
  • No changes to outdated paid parental leave provisions.
  • No changes to outdated long service leave provisions.
