Revenue NSW member bulletin – October 2017 (PDF version)
New staff commence training
As members may be aware, the Lithgow Collection Centre had nine new staff commence their training last week.
Filling these positions was only made possible due to the representations made by the PSA. Your delegates urged management to reverse its original decision to not fill any vacancies as they arise in Lithgow and Maitland, and instead fill these positions in Gosford.
Importantly, the back down from Revenue NSW (then titled OSR) has resulted in an economic boost, as the original plan to remove jobs from Lithgow would have resulted in millions of dollars being pulled out of the economy.
The PSA welcomes all of the new starters and wishes them all well as they progress their training.
