Your union and Delegate Trina Leask met with the Department on 14 November 2024 to continue discussions around the Service NSW restructure.

Wave 1

Mobility continues for impacted staff.

All Service vacancies must be put into mobility and made available to impacted employees from across the sector who are in mobility. Service advises that the vacancies for Wave 1 roles in mobility have closed. If appointments are not made, those roles will then go out to external recruitment. PSA reminds members that even though you may be in mobility, you can still apply for roles being advertised externally. Be aware, however, that it is not in the scope of mobility advisors to support you with external recruitment opportunities.

Wave 2

This is motoring along. They are moving through the assessment of Expressions of Interest (EOIs) and matching preferences and are on track with timeframes identified in the restructure documentation. There will be communications in coming days about when outcomes of the EOIs will be provided.

Wave 3

All EOIs have closed and panels are now considering applications.

People and Culture are continuing to build the page on Employee Resource Hub for staff to have a central point to go to for information.  As mobility continues to be an area of interest for members, PSA have requested further information be provided particularly given concerns around the xmas shutdown.  Service has advised mobility is pausing for the shutdown. There will be no impact to any individual’s minimum eight-week matching process. Those due to go into mobility in early January will get 10 weeks but if you prefer to only have eight weeks, tell your mobility advisor.

PSA will continue to meet weekly with management to raise your concerns.  Please advise your delegate Trina Leask in the first instance if there are matters relating to the restructure you would like addressed.
