JCQTA – Joint Council of Queensland Teaching Associations

Thanks for stopping by!

Welcome

We appreciate your interest in Queensland teaching associations! We look forward to sharing more about the work of JCQTA and how we work to support teachers across the state. Please take the time to read the welcome from our president, Danielle Gordon, and to check out the services provided by our sponsor, TUH Health Fund.

President’s Welcome

The Joint Council of Queensland Teachers Associations (JCQTA) is your voice, providing representation through professional associations at both state and federal levels, including our national collaboration with the Australian Professional Teachers’ Association (APTA).

At a time when schools and teachers are under increasing work and performance pressures, JCQTA is your voice.

We stand united as educators across Queensland, dedicated to improving education. We advocate for meaningful changes that support teachers, students, and parents. By supporting and working with each other, we can make a real difference for Queensland’s students.

Together, we bring diverse educational associations together, speak up for teachers, push for positive changes in education, and work to create an education system that empowers teachers and supports learning.

Our major events continue to be the Presidents’ Dinner and AGM in February and the Ros Korkatzis Forum in August. Committee meetings, attended by representatives from all our member associations, are held quarterly.

I welcome you to browse our website and look forward to meeting you and working together to support the great work you do for your members.

Craig Johnston

President
