Your union, your voice, your say

Members are advised that the Sheriff’s Office Vocational Branch Advisory Group (SOVBAG) elections are due and will be held shortly.

Advisory Groups are a critical part of strong union representation in the workplace. They ensure workers’ voices are heard, protected and taken seriously, not sidelined or ignored.

Your current advisory group has done an amazing job in representing you all on issues across the state. Now it’s time for you to do your part, nominate yourself or a colleague including your current delegates who are choosing to stay on and keep doing the amazing work they have done over the last couple of years.

Why it matters

Advisory Group representatives help to:

• Advocate for safe and fair working conditions
• Raise members’ concerns directly with management
• Strengthen collective bargaining power
• Ensure consultation is meaningful, not tokenistic
• Strengthen recruitment of new members to make our union stronger

Strong participation leads to better outcomes: protecting jobs, safety and workplace rights

What to expect

• Nominations opening soon
• Voting details to follow
• All eligible members are encouraged to take part

Your involvement strengthens the Union and ensures Advisory Groups truly reflect the workforce.

Further details will be provided shortly.

Together we are stronger
