Members may be aware of the release today of the State Government’s circular on working-from-home arrangements.

While acknowledging many of our members do not have the option to work from home, the PSA has always fought for flexible working arrangements. This includes, where possible, working from home for those whose roles do not rely on them attending a specific site.

The PSA also understands that some worksites cannot physically accommodate all employees working onsite at any one time.

The State Government circular acknowledges there are “variations according to the needs of employees and organisations” regarding working from a specific site. Please check your Department’s policies and procedures, as the operational requirements for each agency is different.

Any PSA member with issues in flexible working arrangements, including working from home, will receive support from their union.

Please review your current work arrangements. If you believe you have a case for flexible working arrangements that is being overruled by your employer, please contact the PSA at or on 1800 772 679.
