Get in step for Step 9

All DECS employees who are currently on Step 8 and have completed (or are about to complete) 207 duty days on that step are eligible to apply for reclassification to Step 9.

For details on how to apply for reclassification please follow this link or visit the DECS website.

All Step 8 teachers are encouraged to apply for Step 9.

IMPORTANT
 
Applications for Step 9 will be assessed only against Attachment 1 to Schedule 3 of the South Australian Education Staff (Government Preschools and Schools) Arbitrated Enterprise Bargaining Award 2010.
 
The Award does not require any material not specifically identified in the Award to be provided by a teacher in connection with Step 9. However, this does not preclude teachers from choosing to provide additional material to support their application to Step 9.
 
The above information is intended to assist with the application process but does not impose requirements which must be adhered to in order to apply for and achieve Step 9.
