Advocacy & Support for Teachers
Educators deserve clarity and support when it comes to their own well-being and professional development. One aspect of this support is understanding leave entitlements—essential for maintaining work-life balance, managing personal obligations, and ensuring educators can perform at their best in the classroom.
Emily, a member of the TPAA Queensland branch, encountered challenges when her request for leave was denied by her school principal.
Feelings of uncertainty and confusion regarding her entitlements led her to contact the TPAA for assistance in navigating the situation.
Emily’s assigned case manager conducted thorough research to provide her with expert guidance on her rights and entitlements under relevant employment regulations. The research and guidance provided Emily with a well-supported case for her leave request.
As a result of TPAA’s support the principal reconsidered and ultimately approved her leave.
How is the TPAA so effective in defending members during workplace issues and disputes? Our experienced and professional case managers use our unique RED™ case resolution system.
Why is the TPAA different? We believe that real change in education STARTS with empowering educators, not bureaucrats.
