PSA PROFESSIONAL DIVISION

PSA is continually reviewing its activities and benefits in order to ensure the best possible services for members.

Following feedback from members, a new Professional Division has now been created to address specific needs of Professionally qualified members.

In addition to the current full range of industrial and non industrial benefits, Professional members will now have a team dedicated to them.

Industrial Officers responsible for particular Agencies will continue to deal with Agency specific matters, but will now be supported by a team responsible for professional matters across portfolios.

Issues such as recruitment and retention, remuneration and conditions, contracts and professional development concern all professionals, irrespective of the agency they work within.

The team will form part of PSA's industrial services reporting to Chief Industrial Officer Peter Christopher, and will consist of the following staff.

Gayle Peak, Assistant Chief Industrial Officer - Phone: 8205 3288

Ken Smith, Industrial Officer/Executive Officer Professional Committee - Phone: 8205 3231

Josie Barbaro, Research Officer - Phone: 8205 3295

Brett Capes, Industrial Organiser - Phone: 8205 3204

Ian Peak, Senior Industrial Officer - Phone: 8205 3294

Regionally based Professional members who wish to be part of any phone link-up should contact Assistant General Secretary, Nev Kitchin on 8205 3222 or email: nev@cpsu.asn.au
