Hunter members offered courses closer to home.
New premises for the PSA CPSU NSW Newcastle office include facilities for training.
“We look forward to using these facilities,” said Senior Organiser Glenn Duncan, who conducts the PSA CPSU NSW’s training program. “There will be a comprehensive calendar of training events for members in the area.”
The Newcastle office is now at 24 Maitland Road Islington.
The PSA CPSU NSW plans to open similar facilities in Wollongong.
“Newcastle and the Hunter Valley have long been mainstays of the union movement,” said PSA CPSU NSW Secretary General Stewart Little. “We have a large number of members in the area performing vital work for the state’s second-biggest city and the economic powerhouse that is the Hunter Valley.
“The new facilities are not just an excellent investment for our union, they also give members the chance to take quality training courses closer to home.”
Some courses will continue to be held offsite, such as Swansea Public School (pictured above), in the region.
