CATHOLIC EXPERIENCED TEACHER 6 (ET6) CHAPTER BRIEFING 2-2012 - BRISBANE & TOOWOOMBA ET6 Round 1 closes 16 April 2012 Eligible Members should apply to their employer Dear Colleagues The current Catholic collective agreement provides for the classification of Experienced Teacher 6 (ET6). The closing date for ET6 applications for the first round in 2012 is 16 April. Applicant eligibility in 2012 Any member who is unsure of their eligibility should consult the current collective agreement or their Union organiser. All members applying for ET6 should do so by the closing date of 16 April 2012. All applicants in Diocesan schools (Brisbane, Toowoomba, Cairns, Townsville and Rockhampton) should lodge applications with their employer. Applicants in Religious Institute (RI) schools should lodge their applications at et6@qcec.catholic.edu.au . Applicants should keep a copy of their application and a delivery receipt of application submission. Allowance An allowance is paid for ET6. Currently that allowance is $6016 p.a. and will increase to $6614 p.a. on 1 April 2012. While a teacher may hold both an ET6 classification and a PAR they will be paid only one allowance – the higher of the two allowances. The ET6 allowance is paid on a pro-rata basis for part-time employees. Union training Your union is running ET6 application training across the state to assist members in applying for ET6 in 2012. Attendance at this training is exceedingly helpful in the development of an effective application.
