Who covers Anglican Schools Commission (WA) workers — award or agreement?

The Anglican Schools Commission runs a group of Anglican community schools across Western Australia, including John Septimus Roe, St Mark's and Frederick Irwin. It employs teachers across primary and secondary years alongside a general staff workforce in administration, grounds and student support.

Teachers sit on the Educational Services (Teachers) Award 2020, and general staff sit on the Educational Services (Schools) General Staff Award 2020. The Commission bargains multi-school enterprise agreements across its Western Australian, Victorian and New South Wales operations (listed below); the award tables are the floor beneath whichever one covers your school.

The federal awards relevant to Anglican Schools Commission (WA) roles:

  • Educational Services (Teachers) Award 2020 (MA000077)
  • Educational Services (Schools) General Staff Award 2020 (MA000076)

The Anglican Schools Commission (WA) enterprise agreements

Enterprise agreements set rates above the award, with their own classification structures and allowances. Current Anglican Schools Commission (WA) agreements in our corpus (3 in total):

We don't reproduce agreement dollar figures here — the agreement covering your site, state and stream is the document to read. Find your agreement, then your classification, then your pay point, and compare it with your payslip. The award tables on this page are the floor every one of these agreements must beat.

Common school pay issues at Anglican Schools Commission (WA)

The patterns worth checking on a Anglican Schools Commission (WA) payslip:

  • Teacher pay steps not advancing with accreditation and years of service.
  • Term-time-only support staff paid an annualised rate that doesn't match the hours actually worked.
  • Unpaid duties — camps, evening events and supervision outside the agreed hours without the agreement's allowances.
  • Wrong general-staff level for the responsibility actually carried.

What to do if your pay looks wrong

Match your payslip to your classification in the agreement (or the award tables above), and price any gap with our back-pay calculator. Raise it in writing with payroll or your manager first — most underpayments are fixed at that step. Unresolved, the Fair Work Ombudsman (13 13 94) recovers underpayments at no cost, up to six years back, and your union can run the claim for you. Not sure which instrument covers you? Ask our AI advisor with your role and location.
