What happened at the Inner Circle on 13 May 2024?

On the day before the Federal Budget, ACA NSW members gathered at the Inner Circle event held on Monday, 13 May 2024 at the Epping Club to get a detailed understanding of the unions’ application to increase wages by 25% and how will it be implemented.

ACA National President, Paul Mondo, and ACA’s chief industrial lawyer, Nigel Ward, both presented (see videos below are for ACA NSW Members Only).

Presented and discussed were the unions’ demands, the legislated process through the Fair Work Commission, and ACA’s group of 41 early childhood education and care services’ navigation thus far should a 25% wage increase be paid for by the Federal Government.
