Tea with Tim Ep 1 | AITSL | Australian Teacher Workforce Survey 2025

Join Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership’s (AITSL) CEO Tim Bullard and Dr Susan-Marie Harding, Director of Teacher Workforce for the very first episode of Tea with Tim – a cuppa and conversation about what matters in Australian education. In this episode, they unpack the 2025 Australian Teacher Workforce Survey and why teachers’ and school leaders’ voices are essential to shaping the future of the profession.

Our 2025 Australian Teacher Workforce Survey is now open, and it’s your chance to share your experiences and insights. From wellbeing and job demands to career intentions and working arrangements, your input helps strengthen our data and build a clearer picture of the teaching landscape.

In this first episode of Tea with Tim, Tim and Susan answer real questions from teachers about the survey:

☕ Why it matters to complete the survey each year
☕ How the data is used by education ministers and policy makers
☕ What changes can flow from your voice being heard

📩 Keep an eye on your inbox for your unique survey link. The survey runs between August–November (with dates varying by state and territory). It only takes around 10 minutes, but the impact lasts much longer.
