Your Enterprise Agreement

Key things to know:

• The SA Government has made a Salaried EBA offer.
  
  
• In response to this offer, we have made a survey so that your voice is heard.
  This survey is open to all members and eligible members of the PSA of SA that are covered by the Salaried Enterprise Agreement.  
  
  
• We have launched a new website focused on our EB25 campaign.
  
  
• Salaried bargaining to be expedited
  Bargaining for the Salaried Enterprise Agreement has been underway since September 2024. Now, we’ve written to the declared employer to insist the process be expedited - and they’ve agreed. Read the letter here
  
  
• A claim for a 20% wage increase in the first 12 months and a short 12–24 month agreement
  We have presented a clear claim and our focus is simple: A meaningful wage increase. This isn’t just about timelines - it’s about real outcomes. Members have waited long enough.
  
  
• Weekly enterprise bargaining meetings with government
  We are now meeting at least once a week, every week, to drive progress.

Salaried EBA Updates 

12 Sept 2025 - The SA Government has made an EBA offer 

Unfortunately, the offer falls short of what SA Public Sector workers need.

The Pay offer doesn't compensate for how far behind we are:

• 3.75% in Aug 2025 
• 3.5% in Aug 2026 
• 3.25% in Aug 2027

10 September 2025 - EB25 - It's about pay 

Key Points:

•  The SA Government have indicated that an offer for a new enterprise agreement is imminent, including a wage offer.  
  
  
• It is important that you closely monitor your emails and let your colleagues know that an offer is imminent. 
  
  
•  Once the PSA receive this offer, members will have the first say through a survey. 
  
  
• Our expectation is that this first offer will fall short of what is needed. If that is the case, now is the time for us to make a stand and show that the PSA and our members know what we are worth.

 13-19 August 2025 - Salaried EBA Update

Focus on: Professional Officers (POs) and Corrections Officers (COs)

“We go into work every day and feel defeated. It feels like our skills are taken for granted.”

New leadership has been in office for just five weeks, and there have now been more EB meetings than weeks in office, highlighting the urgency of delivering fair outcomes for public sector workers. 

The Enterprise Bargaining process is finally taking shape, and the pressure to make a proper wage offer is building. Recent meetings have focused on Professional Officers (POs) and Corrections Officers (COs), on the 13 August and 19 August respectively, giving members the chance to speak directly about the issues unique to their work - and why they must be addressed in this EB.

13 August 2025 - Weekly meeting 2# 

Focus on: Administrative Service Officers (ASOs) 

“When you’re living pay cheque to pay cheque, what kind of life do you get to live?”  

That’s the question one PSA member put to their employer last week as ASOs from across the public sector – from TAFE to DHS, from CFS to the SA Museum – fronted the bargaining table to demand a 20% pay rise.  

How does Public Sector ASO roles compare to interstate?

This fight isn’t just about a few – it’s about 40,000 workers across the public service and their families.

 We are the people the Government calls “essential” – but they refuse to pay us accordingly. Right now, we’re 20%–30% behind other staff interstate doing similar work. 

That’s not just unfair – it’s unsustainable.

30 July 2025 - Salaried EBA Update. Weekly Meeting 1#

Focus on: Operational Services (OPs)

Image: Members who attended the PSA’s first weekly enterprise bargaining meeting with government are pictured with PSA General Secretary Charlotte (front, centre), Assistant General Secretary Celia (left) and Organising Lead Alen (right). 

DCP, SA Pathology, Housing Trust and DHS attended the meeting with the declared employer, with a focus on the OPS classification. 

Members spoke powerfully about the value of their work and the need for fair pay for the essential services they provide to the community. We thank them for sharing their stories.

“I thought it was a great opportunity to get in front of people who can help form decisions. It was good to be heard, and I think it was good to have a group of us, from different agencies because we all have different experiences. And even for us (PSA members) to hear from each other on these experiences too”. A PSA member who attended the first weekly meeting.
