Who are we - Public Service Association

Who are we

For more than 125 years, our union has proudly fought to secure and advance the pay and conditions of the workers who keep NSW running.

The union, which currently has more than 40,000 members is divided into the Public Service Association of NSW (PSA) and the Community and Public Sector Union (SPSF Group) NSW Branch (CPSU NSW).

The PSA represents public servants in diverse roles across NSW government departments and agencies. The CPSU NSW is there for workers in universities, TAFE colleges, disability services, private gaols and state-owned corporations. All PSA members are part of the CPSU NSW, and all CPSU NSW members are part of the PSA.

The PSA CPSU NSW fights for its members state-wide in all aspects of their working lives, providing support, expert advice and collective as well as individual representation with any difficulty that may be encountered in the workplace.

In doing so, the union and its membership have shaped the industrial landscape in this state.

No employer or government of any political persuasion offers to boost workers’ pay packets or conditions, but tens of thousands of PSA CPSU NSW members working collectively can achieve significant outcomes.

In addition to the PSA CPSU NSW increasing pay and extending conditions, 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 work health and safety.
