Employer issues

First off, by law your employer needs to give you payslip not just for your records but for their own. I went to Fair Work Australia site and here is some information regarding payslips:

Pay Slips & Record Keeping

In regards to Tax did you receive the PAYG summary:

https://www.ato.gov.au/Individuals/Lodging-your-tax-return/Things-you-ll-need/Payment-summaries/

You may be able to work out you pay using the summary or if you were paid into your bank account just divide the amount received by the number of hours worked and that should give you a rough estimate.

Also can't believe you didn't receive any breaks, once again by law this is illegal. So, you didn't get time away from the children to eat lunch or take a break?? You got no break in between your shift? You worked the whole day? You should be paid overtime!

Breaks, Leave, Overtime and Wage Related Matters

If you are having difficulty with your employer the best thing to do is to contact Fair Work Australia and they will help you:

Thanks for that I'm going to try asking for payslips again, I've worked out my hourly rate but can't fit it into the payscale.

That's right no breaks, I was on the floor from 10.30 until 6. And needed to eat, clean, and do paperwork while supervising and interacting. Often I was also the only person in the room as I had low numbers but it made it difficult to do anything, like leave to go to the bathroom.

Even though you were the only educator in the room you are still required to get a break! Legally you should of been paid overtime since you worked that many hours straight! It must of been a very tough and tiring year for you! Glad you haven't given up and have moved on!
