On 6 August 2026, the eve of the fourth anniversary of the Broderick Report, the PSA launched the Beyond Broderick campaign, calling for meaningful reform and action on issues affecting parliamentary staff.

The report was commissioned in light of a series of events in the chamber, including sexual assault and bullying.

Chair of the PSA’s Members of Parliament Vocational Advisory Group, Suzette Meade, chaired the forum and shared her lived experience as a Members of Parliament (MoP) staff member. Suzette spoke about the realities faced by MoP staff and the need for meaningful legislative and workplace reforms to ensure safe, respectful and secure employment.

PSA Assistant Secretary Troy Wright outlined the PSA’s campaign for change, including the need to modernise the Members of Parliament Staff Act 2013. Troy highlighted that NSW remains behind other Australian jurisdictions in delivering the legislative protections and workplace standards that parliamentary staff deserve.

The Minister committed to continuing to meet and work with the PSA as efforts continue to advance reforms and address the issues facing staff in Macquarie Street.
