Call for nominations: Local Land Services Departmental Committee
Eight Delegates required
Nominations are called for positions of Delegate on the Local Land Services (LLS) Departmental Committee.
What is the LLS Departmental Committee?
The LLS Departmental Committee represents the interests of all PSA members in the LLS.
The Departmental Committee advises the PSA about matters of concern to its members. Typically, these will be issues affecting all or a large section of the LLS such as restructures, relocations, staffing, workload, or safety issues. It is the Departmental Committee members who decide on the overall policy and industrial strategy for the union in the LLS.
The Departmental Committee is comprised of Delegates elected from the membership every two years. The Departmental Committee consists of a Chair, Vice Chair, Secretary, Assistant Secretary, Women’s Contact Officer and a number of delegates.
What else do Delegates do?
PSA Delegates have a variety of responsibilities, the core of which is to represent the interests of LLS PSA members and grow the union in your workplaces.
PSA Delegates meet with the members of the LLS Senior Management as part of consultative arrangements, as required, where they represent the interest of members. PSA Delegates may also, from time to time, be invited to sit on other LLS committees as the PSA representative. PSA Delegates may also represent the members in negotiations with LLS management or in industrial disputes.
PSA Delegates are a point of contact for members when workplace issues arise.
PSA delegates are provided with industrial protection for their protected union activities and will be granted paid special leave for approved union activity.
Being a PSA Delegate is a good opportunity to represent your colleagues and have your voice heard about issues that affect the staff of the LLS.
Each nomination must be supported by two other PSA members from the same electorate as the nominee. Nominees, nominators, and seconders must be financial members of the Association as of 9 February 2024.
