In this episode, I unpack the latest research, national survey data and emerging trends shaping the state of teacher wellbeing in 2025. Drawing on insights from thousands of educators across more than 60 Australian schools, I explore what’s really impacting teacher wellbeing.

 

You’ll learn why teachers are calling for more than resilience training and system reform; they’re asking for shifts in how schools operate on a day-to-day basis. From leadership practices to staff communication, professional support to school culture, I break down the patterns we can’t ignore, and the actions schools can take right now to build environments where staff and students thrive. 

 

In this episode, I cover:
A snapshot of the current state of teacher wellbeing in Australia
Key stressors and risk factors impacting teacher wellbeing
The ripple effects of poor teacher wellbeing on students, schools and the community
Data insights from our teacher wellbeing surveys across 60+ schools
What teachers themselves say they need to feel supported, valued and well
Evidence-based strategies and school-wide initiatives that work
How schools can take a strategic, data-informed approach to staff and teacher wellbeing
