CPSU's members include people doing work in the areas of administration, sales, engineering, communications, information technology, technical, scientific research, broadcasting, and many others.

CPSU is a federal union with representation in every state and territory. The predominant area of coverage for the PSU group is in Commonwealth government departments, statutory authorities, business enterprises and the ACT and NT governments. PSU Group also has coverage in some community and private sector areas.For information about State Public Service unions, contact the State Public Service Federation (SPSF)
