The PSA is inviting members to attend our regional training held in Coffs Harbour on 12 and 13 March 2026. Members are invited to attend both days or an individual day that suits your needs.
Role of the Delegate is a one-day course designed to give workplace delegates the skills and knowledge they need to build power at their workplaces. You will explore the importance of unions, history and the values that underpin them. You will develop your skills utilising tools such as mapping, recruitment conversations and problem-solving frameworks to build power.
This course is open to all members whether you are a delegate, thinking about becoming a delegate or would just like to know further about the role. Delegates that have attended this training before are welcome to come for a refresher.

It will cover topics such as the what, when and how of proper workplace consultation, issue resolution using WHS legislation and Health and Safety Representatives (HSR).
