With the new Child Protection Award in the process of being finalised, we are urging our members to engage in the use of the current Workload Planner (WLP). The culture of dedicated staff going above and beyond in the work they are allocated impacts wellbeing and means nothing changes for the wider workforce and importantly, the children, young people, and families of NSW.

To assist you in setting boundaries and prioritise your workload, and to give you tools to say “No” to work you simply do not have the hours to complete the PSA will be running Workload Planner Lunch & Learn sessions both in Community Service Centres and via Microsoft Teams.

The current WLP is easier to use than you might think. We urge you to put it into action because the fact remains, if it’s not measurable, it’s not manageable. The Workload Planner gives the PSA, and Managers Client Services, Directors and Executive District Directors, evidence to clearly demonstrate there are not enough workers to meet the workload.

All Community Services PSA members are invited to attend the upcoming Lunch & Learn to demystify using the WLP to take back control of your workload, not just for you, but for the people who rely on you.

Date Tuesday 16 September 2025
Time 12:00pm-2:00pm
Location Liverpool CSC Conference Room Level 1

The meeting will also be held via Microsoft Teams. All members are welcome to jump on regardless of location or role.
