PSA reaches 90,000 members
There’s power in the union, and our union just grew a bit more!
By working collectively, we have now reached 90,000 members! This is an amazing achievement that we can all be proud of.
When members join the PSA, they know they are joining a large union committed to building better workplaces. Whether it’s negotiating collective agreements or standing up for employees’ rights, we strive to be a strong, modern and influential union.
We’re also committed to positive social changes to improve the societies we live in. We advocate to influencing change more widely in our society to build a more inclusive and equitable Aotearoa.
Our collective power is strong. With 90,000 members and counting, we’ll continue to fight for work to be valued, safe, secure, and free from bias and discrimination. #PSAstrong

Wellington PSA Building relocation
Our Wellington office will be temporarily relocating to enable completion of earthquake strengthening of PSA House on Aurora Terrace. All staff and services will be relocating to Fujitsu House, 141 The Terrace, a short distance away from our current location.
The building is also accessible from Cable Car lane off Lambton Quay. Delegates and members who have training or meetings booked at PSA House will be emailed details of the new location once our relocation date is confirmed.
It is expected we will be located in Fujitsu House for up to 18 months
Did you notice a few more magazines in your pack than normal, perhaps have some excess copies in your office?
The September issue of Te Mahinga Ora covers a wide range of issues. Including information for first time voters, the importance of Public Servants, and why we should all be voting in this year’s general election.
We want everyone to have good information before making their vote.
With that in mind we have provided additional copies of Te Mahinga Ora.
Ahead of this election we encourage you to take copies of these beyond the workplace, share copies with you friends, family, and take a copy to your church or sports club.
Use them as a conversation starter about voting in this year’s election.
