Your Enterprise Agreement

The Public Service Association is the principal union for Public Sector employees in South Australia.

Around 40,000 of South Australian Public Sector employees are covered by an enterprise employment agreement titled: ‘South Australian Public Sector Enterprise Agreement 2021: Salaried’.

Under the provisions of the current agreement, a final wage increase of 1.5% is due in August 2024.

The current South Australian Public Sector Enterprise Agreement 2021: Salaried has a nominal expiry date of 9 December 2024.

Formal negotiations for a new enterprise agreement can start three months before the expiry date from 9 September 2024.

2024 is an important time to get involved with your union! Together we can improve our workplace rights, and organise to protect the rights that we fought hard to get. 

What happens before formal enterprise agreement negotiations?

‌Before the formal negotiations, we need to hear from the PSA members!

The PSA has created a survey to identify what key areas PSA members want to be addressed in a new agreement. This survey is one of the first steps in the process of working towards developing proposals for a new agreement. 

This survey has been open to members since 4 March 2024.

This is your agreement - It's time to make sure your voice is heard!

Encourage any of your colleagues, who are not currently PSA members, to join and add their voice to your next agreement. Any future endorsed PSA proposals will reflect the aspirations of members.

The PSA’s enterprise agreement membership survey will close at midnight on Sunday 28, April 2024.

Enterprise Agreement meetings

PSA Organisers have been visting and will continue to visit worksites all across South Australia, to talk to members about the survey, and to encourage members to provide their feedback. 

Meeting notices are being distributed by email.

What happens after the PSA Enterprise Agreement Survey closes? 

The PSA will collate this initial member feedback to identify what the key issues. This will guide our broad negotiation objectives, while our more specific agenda will be refined by consultation with PSA members.

The PSA’s negotiating position will be based on the direct feedback received from members and the subsequent principles developed from that feedback as endorsed by your Council, Worksite Representatives and members.

The PSA has been agitating for improved conditions for public sector workers for nearly 140 years.
