Due to some delegates leaving Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development we are looking for expressions of interest to fill vacancies on the PSA Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development Departmental Committee.
We would like to thank Sarah Groat from Agriculture and Biosecurity and Jason Peters from Soil Conservation for their time on the Departmental Committee and wish them well in their future endeavors.
Why is the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development Departmental Committee important?
Departmental Committees are a critical part of strong union representation in the workplace. They ensure members’ voices are heard, protected, taken seriously and not sidelined or ignored.
Departmental Committees help to:
- Advocate for safe and fair working conditions
- Raise members’ concerns directly with management
- Strengthen collective bargaining power
- Ensure consultation is meaningful not tokenistic
- Build Union power with the recruitment of new members
What’s involved?
These committees will generally meet four times a year with PSA staff. Members are given special leave to attend, and travel and accommodation expenses are covered by the PSA. Representatives from these committees, along with PSA staff, will also meet with management at the Joint Consultative Committee meetings and at other times as required.
