Join the Professional Staff union: the CPSU NSW


The COVID-19 pandemic has had a massive impact on our public universities. As the union exclusively representing university Professional Staff, we are committed to working with the sector to support a world-class, sustainable and successful higher education industry in Australia, where secure jobs are maintained and valued.

Some industry stakeholders favour heavy cuts to employee pay and conditions as a necessary measure to save jobs.

This is not an approach the CPSU NSW supports. See our previous bulletin HERE.

We believe each university needs to tailor local solutions to fit its circumstances, and we are up for the challenge.

We also believe the Commonwealth and State governments must do more to cushion our third-largest export industry during the downturn, and position our universities to grow strongly again in the future. We will continue to lobby government for a better deal for universities.    

There has never been a more important time to join the CPSU NSW and make your voice heard.

Never before have your terms and conditions of employment been under such a threat from such unusual quarters. But also never before has your membership of our union been more important in protecting them.

The CPSU NSW is a member-led, democratic union. Membership gives you a real voice and a vote in determining your pay and working conditions. Branch-by-branch, university-by-university. You decide. 

The CPSU NSW always puts the interests of Professional Staff first.

Stand with us today!

Professional Staff: Worth Every Cent!
