The Disability Workers’ Union
CPSU NSW: The Disability Workers’ Union represents disability support workers across various vocations within the disability sector. Initially represented by the Public Service Association of NSW (PSA) when the NSW Public Service through Ageing, Disability and Homecare (ADHC) had responsibility for the care of people with disability, The Disability Workers’ Union was able to undertake coverage of union members when they were transferred across to private providers or non-government organisations.
The Disability Workers’ Union still believes there is scope for the public sector to be responsible for the most vulnerable people in NSW and will continue that fight. However, as a priority, it will always fight and advocate for members within this sector, making sure they are paid correctly and working conditions are at a level that provides members to support those that require the utmost care and support.
