After a year of tension and two strikes, Victoria’s public school teachers have voted to accept a new government deal, calling off a planned third walkout. The agreement offers a substantial pay rise of 28.3% to 32.4% over four years, plus a $2,000 one-time bonus and extra annual lump sums for top earners. It also addresses long-standing concerns about workload and work-life balance by capping face-to-face teaching hours and reducing mandatory meetings. Though earlier offers fell short—rejected by over half the union—this latest proposal, backed by 79% of members, finally brings closure to the dispute, heading toward a final employee vote.
