The Public Service Association of NSW and Corrective Services NSW are involved in workshops following a successful test case in which it was determined that a casual Field Officer was, in effect, a permanent employee due to working regular shifts and hours.

These workshops are aimed at transitioning eligible Field Officers into permanent positions. Discussions include identifying suitable duties, career pathways and sustainable workforce planning, Christmas leave and public holidays.

While these processes are underway, no Field Officer should lose shifts or hours.
