TAFE NSW Group 4 restructure update – August 2017 (PDF version)
Your union attended a briefing on 24 August for further consultation around the ETG, regions and TAFE Digital Group 4 restructure. There will be further briefings for the remaining consultation period which your union will also attend.
There is currently no guarantee of placement for TAFE Worker Levels 2. We are fighting give our members a chance to match in the new structure.
During the meeting held with TAFE, some information came to light around the opportunities for those acting in higher duties and who may want to look outside their 50km area.
If you choose to opt in for consideration at your acting positons prior to close of consultation, you will have a chance to review and change your decision prior to implementation.
After the consultation and review period, TAFE will notify affected staff of their possible mapped positions and these staff will have a five-day period to review the proposed mapping and opt in or out if acting in a higher graded position. The organisation chart will be set at this point, so members will be able to see exactly where they will sit.
In Step 3, you can self-match to any vacant position at grade. This can include positions outside your 50km area.
The CPSU NSW will be advocating for members only, so staff who are affected and not yet members will need to JOIN the CPSU NSW before 28 August. If you know anyone in this position, please talk with them about joining now.
