The PSA CPSU NSW training program includes courses run in NSW regional centres.

“Not everyone can get to PSA House in Sydney to learn more about their union, so we can come to them,” said Senior Organiser Glenn Duncan, who conducts much of the union’s training program. “Nearly half our members are in regional NSW, so taking training to them makes sense.”

The union is also setting up dedicated training facilities in its Newcastle and Wollongong offices.

“The same courses offered in the city will be available to regional members,” said Mr Duncan. “We want as many members as possible to take our courses.”
