Private school teachers in New South Wales demand a pay rise, seeking 5-7% above public school teachers' salaries.
In New South Wales, private school teachers are pushing for a pay rise, arguing their pay should be higher than public and Catholic school teachers, reflecting a "traditional premium" for working in the private sector. This comes after the state government funded a pay rise for public school teachers, raising starting salaries to $85,000 and top salaries to $122,100. Private school teachers now seek 5-7% above their public colleagues. Historically, private schools in Australia, mainly governed by church groups, had higher salaries due to setting their own fees.
