The Australian Education Union is working in partnership with Monash University on a research project to be conducted over 2024/25 on ‘What the Profession Needs Now, For the Future'. One of the papers to be written by Monash will focus on parents/carers and community, with particular reference to effective partnerships between parents/carers/students and schools and school employees, and will, in part, be informed by the information collected in the survey.
