Update: 2025-12-21
Description
New graduate teachers in Victoria are facing unaffordable housing near their schools, leading to long commutes and negatively impacting their wellbeing and job satisfaction. Cooper Scott, a new teacher, commutes almost 100 kilometers each way, leaving him exhausted and straining his budget. The Australian Education Union is advocating for a new housing division, rental subsidies, and increased wages to address this issue, as housing shortages are expected to worsen by 2029.
