The office, at 8 Belmore Street Junee, will support all members in the South West, including new members joining from the Junee Correctional Centre.

After many years of campaigning by the PSA for an end to the ridiculous prison-for-profits system, earlier this year the State Government announced that Junee Correctional Centre will be in public hands from March 2025. The prison, originally built as a private gaol, will now have better staff-to-inmate ratios, better paid officers and, staff will have better opportunities for career development with Corrective Services NSW (CSNSW).

Unionised officers and other staff working at the Junee facility will move from the United Workers Union (UWU) to the PSA, and both unions agree the move will be a positive one for members. To provide the excellent coverage offered by the PSA to members, the union has opened an office in the town of Junee. Of course, it is not only CSNSW members who will benefit from the Junee office. All state public servants in the Junee and surrounding southwestern region of NSW will be advantaged by the direct support offered by PSA industrial staff.   

The PSA has supported members in regional NSW since the union was founded in 1899; and with seven offices across the state Junee joins a network of assistance that ensures public servants can perform their duties in a safe workplace, with hard-fought-for conditions no matter where in the state of NSW they are.

Regional Organiser Tom Hooper will remain on staff, working from the new office.
