The PSA invites NSW SES members who will be at Wollongong HQ on Thursday, 20 August 2026 to attend the official launch of our Value Us Because We Value You campaign.
Members have shared their experiences with PSA staff, delegates and through the recent PSA survey. They told us they are proud to serve their communities, but disappointed that their commitment is not always matched by the recognition, support, and compensation they deserve.
The survey highlighted serious concerns about occupational violence, workplace bullying, increasing workplace pressures and a growing sense that paid SES staff are too often taken for granted.
The Value Us Because We Value You campaign is about changing that. It is about ensuring the people who keep the NSW SES operating every day receive the respect, recognition, and investment they have earned.
This launch is an opportunity for PSA members to stand shoulder to shoulder and send a clear message that paid NSW SES staff are essential to the success of the NSW SES and deserve to be properly valued, recognised, and supported.
Value Us Because We Value You Campaign Launch
Date Thursday, 20 August 2026

Stand with your colleagues. Make your voice heard. Join us as we launch the next phase of the Value Us Because We Value You campaign.
