A fair and affordable Tasmanian Teachers Agreement proposal was provided to the Australian Education Union on Friday.
The offer includes a pay rise of 3 per cent in year one, 3 per cent in year two and 2.75 per cent in year three, as well as a range of incentives and conditions, and is in line with the offer accepted by police.
The proposal supports the shared objectives of Government and the AEU to improve learner outcomes, address violence in schools, reduce administrative burden on teachers and workload management.
This overall package has been achieved through offsets from reprofiling of capital funding, existing funding arrangements, and efficiencies.
Premier Jeremy Rockliff said the Government was committed to reaching a fair and affordable agreement for our teachers through respectful and constructive negotiation.
"Both parties have committed significant time and resources through meetings and dedicated workshops, and I thank the union members and staff who have participated," Premier Rockliff said.
"Given the positive offer on the table, we believe this should put an end to the work bans to allow our teachers to continue their enormously valued work in our schools."
"The Tasmanian Government has delivered pay rises for doctors, police, firefighters and education facility attendants."
The offer will remain open to teachers until March 20 to enable a salary increase to be effective from the first full pay period on or after 1 March 2026, as per the agreement.
