Free expert guidance on accessing the worker retention grant

Following months of advocacy, Community Early Learning Australia (CELA) and Community Child Care Association (CCC) have been successfully granted funding to support services to apply for the Worker Retention Grant, including accessing an eligible workplace instrument.

 

CCC and CELA have partnered to form the Education and Care Workplace Relations Team. This Team has already been working with providers to inform, educate and guide them through the process to access the funding.

 

Eligible services will now be able to access information and support from our Workplace Relations Team FOR FREE including:

 

• In-depth information through our Options Pack which outlines options for your service to access the grant;
• Resources and phone support to understand the Worker Retention Grant;
• Guidance on options to comply with grant requirements, including the requirement to be covered by an eligible workplace instrument;
• Comprehensive support to join onto the ECEC Multi-Employer Agreement;
• Access to other workplace instruments including approved IFAs;
• Support to apply for the Worker Retention Grant.

 

We would encourage you to familiarise yourself with the following information, along with that in the Options Pack or on the Australian Government’s Department of Education website prior to contacting us so we can better assist with your queries.

 

When you are ready, you can reach one of our sector specialists by phone on 1300 346 818 or email adminwrt@cela.org.au

 

A webinar will be held to support applicants. Register for the webinar here.
