Key Papers

SASSLA’s focus is to bring the important employment related issues facing school and preschool leaders to the attention of the Department and Government. We have done the hard work of developing clear and persuasive arguments for change and improvement to School and Preschool Leaders’ employment conditions. Areas where we have been most active include Band A remuneration, improved workload regulation for Preschool Directors, selection and reappointment, and leader workload.

We have further developed our Six Key Employment Priorities until 2025. Click here to view our e-publication which outlines an in-depth analysis into each priority and the wins we have achieved since our initial publication in 2023.
