The value of member benefits

For more than 100 years, union members have benefited from the strength of the collective, but did you know CPSU/CSA members are entitled to some great member benefits?

Shoprite

Last year, CPSU/CSA members saved more than $610,000 with our Shoprite Member Benefits Program alone, saving money across some of Australia’s biggest brands and retailers — like Myer, The Iconic, Woolworths + hundreds more.

Union Training

Did you know that CPSU/CSA members get access to 5 days of paid leave each year to attend training and professional development offered by the union? And it's free.
Our training and professional development curriculum is purposefully designed to make the most of the rights and entitlements enshrined in your Awards and Agreements, with real-world application within the public sector.

And there's plenty to choose from...
Having Difficult Conversations
Assertive Communications
Conflict in the Workplace
Understanding Change Management
Emotional Intelligence
Mental Health in the Workplace
Building Business Relationships
Presentation Skills
Negotiating Good Outcomes
Preparing for Retirement

These courses can cost thousands of dollars when offered by private providers, but not when you're a CPSU/CSA member! We also offer specialised events for our workplace delegates, including an introductory training program, courses in campaign strategy and our annual 2-day DelCon convention and sundowner.

Slater and Gordon

Through our legal partner Slater and Gordon, union members are entitled to a free will kit and 45 minutes of free legal consultation for any personal, individual matters. This professional and impartial advice is available for a wide variety of legal areas, to access these benefits contact our UnionLink team on (08) 9323 3800 or by emailing [email protected].
