Public Service Association (PSA) members at Elizabeth District Centre (DC) met on Wednesday 21 October 2009 to discuss the implementation of the Connected Client and Case Management System (C3MS) and the subsequent impact the roll out has had on the community, members' workloads and health and safety.

PSA members passed the following resolution:

"In the interests of children's safety, including vulnerable families, and workers health and safety, this meeting of PSA members employed at Elizabeth District Centre will cease using C3MS, in its entirety, as of 8.45am, 22 October 2009, until such time as the outstanding issues raised by members are acknowledged, prioritised and rectified to the satisfaction of members.

Further, members will not work with any information recorded on C3MS after this time and will revert to previous practice on CIS until further notice. In an effort to resolve these issues, Elizabeth District Centre members are willing to work alongside Crisis Response Unit members in the same working party, already established for this purpose."

Meetings of PSA members will continue to occur in worksites where C3MS has been implemented. Salisbury DC PSA members attended a meeting on Tuesday 20 October and Onkaparinga DC meetings are scheduled for next week.
