Neighbourhood Houses & Adult Community Education Centres Collective Agreement 2010 and Pay Tables

The Neighbourhood House & Adult Community Education Centres Agreement 2010 was approved by Fair Work Australia (FWA) and became operational from Friday 13 May 2011. See below for a copy of the Agreement current paytables and the paytables that come into effect 1 December 2012.

The current paytables became effective from July 2012. They reflect changes due to award modernisation,  and the national wage case from July 2012.

The December 1 paytables take into account the implimentation of the Equal Remuneration Order (ERO) or Equal Pay Case. The ERO changes only effect the Neighbourhood House Employees section of the Agreement pay tables. Please note that the pay rates for Adult and Community Education Employees and Children’s Services employees remain unchanged from 1 July 2012.

The Social, Community, Home Care and Disability Service (SCHADS) award is the legal benchmark for the Agreement so it is affected by the SCHADS award modernisation process and the SCHADS Equal pay case. (NB the SCHADS Award incorporates and replaces the former SACS award). For more detailed information see ANHLC resource papers here.

The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 1 July 2011 but this agreement will continue in force until it is replaced. Negotiations for anew agreement have been postponed until the award modernisation and equal pay case processes are complete.
