About 200 Catholic school teachers in Queensland have staged a rally once more over claims of inequitable wages and increasing workloads.

Friday's rally, held outside the Brisbane Catholic Education Conference on the Gold Coast, was the seventh time union members have stopped work.

Independent Education Union of Australia's Terry Burke said the next step was for unionised staff to decide whether to escalate their protected industrial action.

Voting papers were sent to the union's 9000 members across the state and a final count of the votes is expected to be revealed on February 10.

The ballot will only be valid if at least half the members return their vote.
