A "deadly” week of celebration for National Reconciliation Week
Goodstart and its 16,000 early learning educators, teachers and other professionals including cooks,...
We’re a not-for-profit social enterprise, meaning we exist purely to improve the lives of Australia’s children and their families. As Australia’s largest early learning and care provider, we’re in a great position to truly make a difference.
Creating life-changing experiences for children is what drives each one of us at Goodstart. Every day, our Teachers and Educators put their passion into practice, building deep connections with families and bonds with children that last a lifetime.
We recognise the important role our people play in the lives of children, so our commitment to you is to provide the support and opportunities you need to thrive in your career.
We believe every person should feel supported to be the best they can be. We’ve listened to what our people need, and we’ve worked with them to implement even more benefits and better conditions. Above-award wages, increased non-contact time, and flexible work arrangements are just some of the ways we recognise and support our people.
Some of the ways we support our people to develop a healthy work-life balance include:
Just ask Tammy, a Teacher from WA: “Goodstart has always accommodated my family’s needs. When my children were little, I was able to work split shifts. And if I ever need a day off, it’s not an issue. I know Goodstart considers my health and wellbeing as important as the children’s."
We also offer a generous and competitive remuneration schedule that recognises the work you put in to develop your expertise:
