PSA is about being transparent and accountable to the membership, removing siloes and placing the members at the heart of the decision-making process.

We are an organic union that operates from the bottom up. The intent moving into the cluster model is to be much more regional focussed to increase engagement with members directly at the site level. We want members to be able to actively participate in the union with-out structural interference. We want to better know your hopes and desires as well as understand what existing operational challenges there are throughout our workplaces.

We are building our national and regional site delegate and health and safety representative networks by linking people together who share a common interest in both advocating and supporting their colleagues.

The practice expertise sits with members, and PSA will advocate for greater partnership in service design and ensure our aspirations for professional excellence in providing service to tamariki, rangitahi and whānau are delivered.
