The PSA has launched a legal fund for members working in the Justice Sector.

The legal fund, modelled on a similar scheme available to prison officers, provides a range of enhanced legal services for financial PSA members commonly exposed to difficult and dangerous situations in the course of their employment including –

• alleged criminal offenses arising out of or in the course of employment
• making a claim under the Victims Right and Support Act 2013 which arises out of or in the course of employment
• any Coronial Inquiry where the interests of the member and their employer diverge
• any commission of inquiry or tribunal conducting an enquiry whose findings could have an adverse effect upon the member of the Legal Fund.

The Legal Fund has been a great benefit for officers who needed it and will be invaluable to our Youth Justice members who undertake a similar role.

Membership of the PSA Justice Sector Legal Fund is available to PSA Members for as little as $2 a week.
