In this conversation from an exhibitor at the Semann & Slattery Inspire Conference 2025, we sat down with Deidre Donnelly and Tamika Hicks from the United Workers Union's Big Steps Campaign. In this episode, we delve into the heart of their advocacy and discuss how, together as union members, educators are the driving force behind the Big Steps Campaign to secure professional pay, respect, and recognition.
This episode sheds light on critical issues impacting the early childhood sector, including the Australian Government worker retention payment to support our dedicated educators. We also explore the ongoing efforts to recognise educators as true professionals, a crucial step towards valuing their immense contribution to society. Tune in to hear how the Big Steps Campaign is fighting for better conditions and recognition for those who nurture our youngest learners.
