THE Independent Education Union (IEU), representing teachers and support staff in non-government schools across NSW and the ACT, has called for urgent investigations into Redeemer Baptist School in North Parramatta following media reports raising serious concerns. Allegations include staff not being paid, teachers being classified as “volunteers” rather than employees, and practices the union says pose child protection risks, including claims that teachers and students share bedrooms. The IEU said minimum wages and conditions, including superannuation, must apply and has urged the NSW Education Standards Authority, the Office of the Children’s Guardian and the Fair Work Ombudsman to investigate potential breaches.
