Salaried Enterprise Agreement – What You Have Told Us

Beginning in late 2023, and continuing during the first half of 2024, the PSA conducted extensive consultation with members including statewide worksite visits and an all-member survey.

The following key priorities have been determined from that membership consultation. These priorities will drive all aspects of our upcoming enterprise agreement negotiations.

  1. Wages    
  2. Job Protection    

  3. Workload    

  4. Improving Conditions

These priorities and the survey results were presented to your Worksite Representatives at the PSA Worksite Representative Forum held at the end of June.

These priorities have been broadly expanded on in the document ‘What You Have Told Us – 2024’.  Members can view the ‘What You Have Told Us – 2024’ document here. What you have told us - 2024-1.pdf

The priorities defined in this document are representative of the priorities of the PSA's broad membership.

The PSA Council has now endorsed these priorities as underpinning the PSA's negotiating position for a new salaried agreement.

The PSA will continue to consult with members and will draft proposals based on these priorities in readiness for the negotiations due to commence in early September.

Defining our priorities, while very important, is only one element in achieving the best possible enterprise agreement.

Our continued preparation and work together, at our worksites and from the PSA office, will determine our success in achieving an enterprise agreement which addresses our members’ priorities.

With the commitment of every member, we will be successful.

PSA Organisers will be attending worksites to provide more detail on the results from the survey and the contents of the ‘What You Have Told Us – 2024’ document.

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

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

The current agreement provides for formal negotiations for a new agreement to commence no earlier than three months prior to 9 December 2024, that is, from 9 September 2024.

Encourage any of your colleagues, who are not currently PSA members, to join and add their voice to your next agreement.
