A community for connection, growth and belonging

Welcome to EAs in education

THE FIRST GROUP IN AUSTRALIA TO EXCLUSIVELY SUPPORT EXECUTIVE ASSISTANTS IN EDUCATION THROUGH WORKSHOPS, DISCUSSIONS, AND EVENTS

There are plenty of networks for administrative professionals in the corporate world, but none that focus purely on the unique demands of those working in education—until now. As an Education EA myself, I understand the complexities and often isolating nature of the role. I established EAs in Education to form a strong community for networking, support, and learning opportunities.

If you’re a senior administrative support in the education space, we’re sure you will fit right in.

Hi, I’m Kristine Niven, Founder of EAs in Education

As an Executive Assistant in Education myself, I have a deep understanding of the role and what it takes, but I have also experienced the lack of opportunities for education, support, and connection. I founded EAs in Education to fill this gap.

Connect with me on LinkedIn. I’d love to hear from you

READ MORE ABOUT ME

“Being a part of EAs in Education enables me to feel connected and supported. The professional learning program is tailored with an understanding of the unique challenges EAs in Education face daily. I appreciate the opportunity to connect with other EAs nationally and thank Kristine for all her work to build this wonderful community”
Tanya Fox, Padua College (2023 Program Participant)
“Being part of numerous PA/EA/Admin groups, none seemed to fit what I was looking for as an education-based PA. This was until the EAs in Education was created by Kristine! Joining the 2023 program was happily granted by my College due to the affordability and excellent agenda for the year, and it has been informative, eye-opening and collegial. I am looking forward to being part of the program in 2024 and seeing what amazing speakers Kris brings to the group this time around!”
Leanne Carty, Overnewton Anglican Community College (2023 program participant)
“Working as an EA /PA in Education can be isolating. Not many people understand what your day consists of and how you spend your time. Kristine has acknowledged this lack of connection and understanding.”

“Thank you! What a great community group you have set up for likeminded EAs in the education industry. This is definitively an untapped marked and I hope more people see its potential and join.”
Annemarie, current group member
“Thank you again!! It’s been so affirming to meet others in the same role as myself, with the same issues, fears, complexities and questions.”
