ECE connection strong in regional community

11 November, 2026

Our union’s early childhood education (ECE) network breakfast meetings allow IEU members working in Emerald to connect at least once a term to discuss professional and industrial issues affecting the sector.

IEU-QNT ECE Representative to Council and network member Jenny Finlay, said the ECE network in Emerald plays a vital role in ensuring teachers and educators across our regional community remain informed, connected and supported.

“Given our location in rural Queensland, regular face-to-face union meetings are particularly important in providing members with timely information about sector developments, legislative changes, industrial matters and emerging challenges,” Jenny said.

“With significant changes continuing across the early childhood education sector, it is essential that regional members have opportunities to engage directly with union representatives, ask questions, share concerns and remain informed about matters affecting their profession and working conditions,” she said.
