APS Workplace Rights

The framework enshrines in law much of the Delegates' Rights Charter The framework enshrines in law much of the Delegates' Rights Charter
CPSU delegates have significant workplace rights under the Australian Government Employment Bargaining Framework (AGEBF) which was introduced on 1 September 2009.

The framework enshrines in law much of the CPSU Delegates' Rights Charter. The arrangements:

  • recognise the legitimate role of union delegates to act on behalf of members
  • ensure their role will be respected and facilitated by the employer
  • give delegates access to union training during paid time
  • allow delegates to consult with members in work time and display union materials in the workplace
  • give delegates the right to consultation and access to relevant workplace information.

Your rights enshrined

The Australian Government Employment Bargaining Framework (AGEBF) details the Government's position on Industrial Relations matters for the Australian Public Service – including workplace rights for employees and their representatives.

Under the framework all APS Agencies are required to develop a set of delegates' rights similar to that in Attachment A of the document. The good news is that employees and their elected delegates now have a solid foundation of rights that are enshrined in:

  • Australian Government Employment Bargaining Framework (AGEBF)
  • Workplace rights for employees (AGBEF cl 1.4 to q.4.7 extract)
  • Workplace rights for union delegates (AGBEF Attachment A and cl 1.8 to 1.8.10 )
