Since our last bulletin, your union has participated in several enterprise bargaining meetings, including negotiations this week following a short preparation period.

All claims have now been tabled and preliminary discussions have taken place. A number of matters have been extensively discussed including the Professional Planning and Development (PP&D), position descriptions, recruitment, flexibility and performance management. Key updates from the latest sessions of bargaining are below.

Artificial Intelligence protections

Negotiations have achieved some concessions on AI from the University. Disagreement between other parties has led discussions to stall this week. CPSU will continue our work to push this issue forward in negotiations.

Change management

A variety of claims have been put forward by the University which risk existing protections. Your union has consistently prioritised the need for fair processes and minimising impact on psychosocial health. We’re currently fighting to hold on to existing protections in change processes.

Schedules impacting the University Veterinary Teaching Hospital Sydney (UVTHS) and Protective Services staff

CPSU is attempting to assert consistent standards for our colleagues whose roles the University does not neatly fit into the enterprise agreement.

Our claims to change Schedule 6 have been partially accepted. The University has countered those parts of our claim that it rejected. This will return to the agenda in coming weeks.

Our claims in relation to Protective Services are underway and we will continue to push for a realistic and fair approach to rostering, leave cover and remuneration in coming weeks.

For more insights and to raise general matters, join us at our online members’ meeting on Thursday 24 September 2026 at 1pm.

It has come the PSA’s attention that webinars have been held by the Department of Education last week on discussions about the Chemical Safety in Schools (CSIS). In the meeting the Chemical Safety Officer (CSO) role was raised and that it could be designated to a School Administrative and Support staff member, for example School Administrative Officer Science.

The É«ÀÇÉçÇøhas been in consultation with the Department around this CSIS package along with our É«ÀÇÉçÇøSAO Science Advisory Group delegates and we have been providing input into the development of the package.

The É«ÀÇÉçÇøis inviting you to attend this online meeting to be updated on consultation so far and to seek further feedback to inform the union’s position.
