Agenda for change

CPSU members around Australia have been joining together to build a new agenda for change.

CPSU members, wherever they work, are at the forefront of Australia's response to the significant challenges of the decade. These challenges include:

  • climate change
  • health reform
  • skills
  • education
  • workplace relations
  • indigenous disadvantage
  • telecommunications
  • infrastructure.

But do we have the right mix of skills, people, and support to make a real difference?

What you can do

CPSU members around Australia have been building a new agenda for change. This is the beginning of a long-term conversation with workers in our industries about the things that really matter. While continuing to focus on the "core business" of improving members' pay and conditions, we want to explore options for tackling longer-term issues such as:

  • maintaining a skilled workforce in a tight labour market
  • managing the imminent baby-boomer exodus
  • protecting and promoting the value of the public sector
  • ensuring workers with caring responsibilities can balance their work and life
  • closing the pay gaps between public and private sector and between different agencies
