Non-members Help

Updated 08/10/2024

The first step to getting union help with your issue is to join CPSU.

We do not provide assistance or support to non-members.

CPSU is a membership organisation. We will provide representation and support to all financial members in relation to work issues that arise during the time that they are members. Those who join CPSU with a pre-existing work-related problem they want addressed will have access to limited telephone advice only.

Our policy recognises the ongoing contribution of our existing members without whom CPSU would not be able to;

  • negotiate Agreements which improve pay and conditions,
  • run campaigns to improve workplace health & safety,
  • represent members in restructures, grievances, reclass, & discipline actions,
  • provide expert industrial, WorkCover and OHS advice when you need it,
  • participate in Victorian Trades Hall and ACTU campaigns to improve laws and regulations for all Australian workers

The policy encourages employees to join their union when they commence work, rather than only at times of crisis and to contribute to the positive developments at your workplace and ensure that the union can maintain infrastructure to support members at the times that they need.

Without paying members, CPSU would not exist.

CPSU relies on membership resources to run all our campaigns and by joining CPSU you can protect one of your most important assets – your job!
