ABOUT US

Launched in 2015 by members of the Community & Public Sector Union (CPSU) who want to rally the community behind our awesome public services.

We firmly believe that our country becomes a better place when our public services get the support they need and our hardworking public servants can do their thing. It's all about making sure our public services can thrive, grow, and innovate while creating secure job opportunities and career paths for everyone.

Together, we've had some incredible wins in protecting our essential public services from being snatched away by privatisation. Our community has banded together and achieved some seriously awesome stuff in recent years.
