The PSA is a major public sector union which for more than a century has proudly fought to secure and advance the pay and work conditions of public sector employees in diverse roles across NSW government departments.

The PSA assists and acts on behalf of fee paying 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 addition to the PSA’s yearly submissions and arbitration to increase your pay and improve conditions, members also receive assistance with a range of other workplace issues including the protection of flexible working hours, relocations, bullying, worker’s compensation, leave entitlements, disciplinary matters, women’s rights, work practices, and work health and safety. That’s why you support your union! And for less than what you pay for a large coffee a day.

There are a number of benefits to membership, including:

• Personal representation on individual Industrial Relations matters, including after critical incidents, Workers Compensation claims, disciplinary and misconduct issues, flexible working agreements and arrangements, return to work, etc. The union is your protection in the workplace.
• Collective representation on issues affecting employees, such as rosters, staffing, health and safety, Allowances and Award entitlements, etc. We are stronger when we fight for these things together. A united, unionised workplace means a united voice. United we bargain, divided we beg. It’s that simple
