When a crisis strikes our state, PSA CPSU NSW members take action.

This Autumn edition of Red Tape tells the story of just some of the hard-working members responding to the crises that have regularly our state.

Domestic violence remains one of the most urgent challenges facing NSW. Police receive a domestic violence call every three minutes.

Responding to this crisis are our members, including the Mount Druitt Family Violence Service, a vital centre that provides life-saving assistance to people escaping violent homes.

Twice slated for closure, the service helps people secure housing, navigate legal systems, access income support and rebuild lives.

We also discuss the vital roles played by our members at Homes NSW and those working with offenders in the correctives system.

We also talk to members in Police, who are on call 24-7 working alongside officers in the fight against crime.

We celebrate the PSA members from the State Emergency Service, Rural Fire Service, Fire and Rescue, and other agencies who are on the ground when floods rise, bushfires burn, and storms tear through communities.

In this issue, we celebrate our wins in Transport for NSW, Service NSW and monitor our progress in cutting down our excessive number of senior executives.

We also update readers about negotiations in our universities, as well as disability services provider Aruma, where members overwhelmingly rejected a substandard enterprise agreement offered by the employer.

The current issue talks to a member in Local Land Services who is protecting the state against a surge in feral animals.

As always, Red Tape is brimming with news, opinion pieces and the best in books and podcasts. Most of all, it is a snapshot of a workforce that protects, supports and strengthens NSW every day.
