Welcome General Assistants
The Public Service Association of NSW (PSA) represents 40,000 members, most of them public servants employed by the NSW State Government.

- Dept of Education (Support Staff & head office)

The PSA is a major public union that works on behalf of fee-paying members state-wide, helping them 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, automatically offers to boost workers’ pay packets or conditions, but tens of thousands of PSA members working collectively can achieve significant outcomes, as we have done in the past.
In addition to better pay and conditions, PSA members also receive assistance with a range of other workplace issues including the protection of flexible working hours, bullying, worker’s compensation, disciplinary matters, women’s rights, work practices, and Workplace Health and Safety.
There are a wide range of member benefits that can easily save more than the cost of membership, including:
- Savings on groceries (Coles, Woolworths, etc), clothing, electronics (The Good Guys, JB Hi-Fi Apple), gym memberships, cheaper electricity and gas bills, home and personal loans and much more.
