The campaign is being led by the AEU and has the support of each state teachers’ union representing public education. There are 18 targeted seats across Australia that will be focused on by the AEU .

In NSW, 4 Federal seats have been targeted:

• Gilmore [South Coast - Batemans Bay, Berry, Callala Bay,, Currarong, Fishermans Paradise, Gerroa, Kiama, Malua Bay, Mogo, Moruya, ...]
• Page [North Coast - Casino, Dunoon, Evans Head, Grafton, Iluka, Kyogle, Lismore, ...]
• Robertson [Central Coast - Hawkesbury River and Broken Bay in the south, west to Gunderman, north along the Gosford City Council Boundary to Kulnura, then east and south along the Gosford City Council boundary until it crosses the main Northern Railway ...]
• Banks [southern Sydney - Allawah, Carlton (part), Connells Point, East Hills, Lugarno, Mortdale, Oatley, Panania, Padstow, Padstow Heights, Hurstville Grove, Picnic Point, Revesby, Riverwood and South Hurstville]
• In each electorate they want to identify 10 “hot schools” and train Principal/ Fed Rep & P and C to develop an “agreed school story”.

The igiveagonski website has been re-branded to Fairer Schools Funding (go to the website below). We need all principals to keep their school communities informed of the use to which the funds are being put and the difference the missing funding would make (we have received only 36% of the Federal Government full Gonski commitment which is delivering only 17.5% of the SRS to students of public schools). The Federal Government have committed to lift their contribution to 20% of the SRS for each school over the next 6 years. It’s a very long way short of what is required. Principals are asked to support community members in attending meetings with local members explaining the difference the funding is making and the difference the missing funding would make. This is particularly important as we are moving toward a Federal election.
