PSA Membership
For more than 120 years the Public Service Association of NSW (PSA) has proudly fought to secure and advance the pay and working conditions of public servants in diverse roles across NSW Government departments, agencies and schools.
As a major public sector union working on behalf of fee-paying members in NSW, the PSA helps members in all aspects of their working lives. It provides support, expert advice and collective as well as individual representation with any difficulty that may be encountered in the workplace.
No Government of any political persuasion offers to boost workers’ pay packets or workplace conditions, but tens of thousands of PSA members working collectively are able to achieve significant outcomes.
By joining the PSA you are bolstering the collective number and doing so greater achievements can be made on flexible working, workplace practices, improvements in workplace health and safety, worker’s compensation and much much more. We also have your back in disciplinary matters and will always fight for better pay.
Areas of coverage by the PSA in NSW government departments and agencies include:
- Audit Office
- Climate Change, Energy, Environment and Waters
- Communities and Justice
- Community Services
- Corrective Services
- Creative Industries, Tourism, Hospitality and Sport
- Customer Service
- Education (Support Staff, General Assistants and Department of Education)
- Health
- NSW Parliament
- Planning, Housing and Infrastructure
- Premier and Cabinet
- Primary Industries and Regional Development
- Transport
- Treasury
There are also a wide range of member benefits for you and your family immediately accessible upon joining (see below).
This is the time to join the PSA and enjoy the fruits of previous generations of members that have laid the foundations for you today.
