Support Staff Resources
Support staff do so much to make a difference in our schools, kura, kindergartens and centres, for young children and young people, and for our communities.
As we demonstrate to the government that we need fair pay and fair work, use these resources in your communities to get everyone involved in the campaign.
We need the government to listen to us, understand what we're saying, and take the bold action needed to address our claims for fair pay and fair work.
Share how you use these resources on social media using the hashtatgs #SupportStaff and #MakingADifference
