Members can access a new online area. “The new Member Area is where you can now easily update your contact details and preferences, update your workplace details, make payments and update financial details, view and download tax statements, and sign into Union Shopper seamlessly,” said PSA CPSU NSW Member Services Manager Kym Ward. “The area’s new features give members control over membership details and access to discounts and benefits.

Users can access the Member Area from the link on top of the PSA or CPSU NSW websites: www.psa.asn.au or www.cpsunsw.org.au

To log in to the new member area, users must use a password that has been set for them: their surname followed by their member number.

For example, if your name is John Smith and your member number is 123456 then your password will be “Smith123456”. Spaces have been removed from passwords and hyphenated names remain hyphenated.

Users can use the “Forgot Password” link at the sign-in page to generate a new password at any time.

“This system will make your PSA membership so much more seamless,” said Ms Ward.

“We are always looking for ways to improve services for our members,” said General Secretary Stewart Little. “The new Members Area will better serve the people we so proudly represent.”
