  • "When you're living pay cheque to pay cheque, what kind of life do you get to live?”

  • "By voting this EBA, my financial sense of security and stability would greatly improve."

  • "If voted up this agreement will bring a much-needed uplift to classifications below the award and see us back at the bargaining table in 6 months’ time. “

  • "We have limited resources and KPI pressures to deal with every day. I go out there and investigate a certain amount of cases every month and see they're not KPIs, they're families and children. They're not a statistic.”

  • "When WA are offering a higher training salary than my CO3 salary, it's pretty tempting to move states.”

  • "When my 20 yr old flipping burgers at a massive fast food chain earns more than someone like myself who has 20+yrs admin experience, 12yrs in government—that says something!!"

Message from the General Secretary

It’s time for public servants to vote.

With a minimum of a 10.8% wage increase, the agreement on offer brings real gains and has us back to the bargaining table soon.

Your vote is needed to achieve these wins.

Vote now.

By voting yes, we secure financial relief for hardworking public servants across SA.

Parental leave equality for fathers and all parents is groundbreaking and comes in with this agreement. Lifting our most junior public servants permanently above the Award and with a healthy margin is a first. Union access clauses that give us the ability to build strength for future rounds of bargaining. 

In just five months, we are bargaining for more.

Yes, it’s fast.

Because we have more we want to achieve. The Government has agreed to join us at the negotiating table in July and we will make the most of it.

Vote now to lock in these changes, then watch this space: get engaged in your union so we can represent your needs. We want to hear from you.

Above all, have your say, vote now.

Charlotte Watson, General Secretary, Public Service Association of SA
