Getting the message out
A key part of the campaign is to alert the community to the critical, but often unseen work being undertaken by members in Community Services including Caseworkers, Managers Casework, Psychologists, Legal staff, other casework specialist staff and the vital admin staff who are essential in the delivery of quality services to children.

Keeping up the pressure – escalating our campaign
PSA Community Services’ members and delegates from across NSW have been taking up the fight and will be leading this campaign into the future.
