Aboriginal Council
The PSA CPSU NSW was one of the first unions in Australia to establish an Aboriginal Council.
The Council advises the union’s decision-making bodies on issues relating to Aboriginal members. It works to ensure Aboriginal members in the NSW Public Sector and other areas covered by the PSA CPSU NSW are given the best possible support in the workplace.
The PSA CPSU NSW is always fighting for more Aboriginal roles in the workplace, and better pathways to senior positions. It defends members against discrimination and unfair dismissal at work, and creates a supportive community for First Nations workers.
