Know your rights


We hear members are attending disciplinary meetings without a support person. Don’t do this. There is no such thing as an informal chat. You have Delegates who can attend these meetings with you so take them.

Your CPSU Delegates are:

Mark Bathgate

Joshua McKnight

Keri Parbery

Craig Dennis

Sarah Redigar (Supervisors)

If you are called to any work-related meeting/catch up/chat that you did not have advance notice of (preferably at least 48 hours) request in writing the following:

Purpose of the meeting

Who will be attending

What issues are to be discussed

and can they provide a agenda.

Time and venue-If the date and time are unsuitable, you have the right to negotiate a new date and time.

Fact Sheets:

Ten helpful hints to prevent being ambushed at work

Role of the support person

Procedural fairness
