A teachers’ strike in Queensland seems to have been averted after a pay deal was reached with the State Government.

Teachers’ union members have accepted the standard public service offer of an annual 2.5 per cent pay rise, despite the union pushing for an increase of 4.5 per cent.

Queensland Teachers' Union president Kevin Bates says the Government has agreed to match Catholic school pay rates.

The Government will also make changes to the classification structure

The deal means new teachers’ salaries will go from $62,000 to $66,000, while at the other end experienced teachers will be earning up to $101,000.

“The 4.5 per cent was always a negotiating position,” Mr Bates told the ABC.

“It's through changes to the classification structure that we'll be able to achieve parity with Catholic school teachers.

“We postpone industrial action pending our members making a decision,” Mr Bates said.

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said the $100,000-plus salaries would now be more restricted.

“[Now] they do not have to leave the classroom to earn that amount,” Ms Palaszczuk said.

“That's keeping our most experienced teachers in the classroom, giving quality teaching to our students.”
