Queensland Catholic School Teachers to Vote on Rejecting Employer Agreement Amidst Workload and Wage Concerns

Employees in Queensland Catholic schools will soon have the opportunity to formally reject an employer agreement in a ballot opening on October 19, 2026. This development comes despite no in-principle agreement being reached at the bargaining table, with 94% of IEU members having already rejected the proposal in an advisory vote. Key issues include a lack of action on workload concerns and wages that are considered worse than those in New South Wales Catholic and Victorian schools.
