Training and development opportunities are available for delegates. Speak to your organiser for more information.
The CSIRO Staff Association version of CPSU’s delegate handbook is now available. This comprehensive resource provides a basic introduction to the position and topics including CSIRO Section structure, delegate rights and building union profile.
The Staff Association encourages delegates to create and commission union communications to share stories, experiences and lessons from CSIRO workplaces. To assist delegates in designing and producing content, we’ve put together a few template examples and instructions to get those creative ideas flowing and connect with your audience.
For more information or to arrange a confidential discussion about becoming a delegate, email csstaff@cpsu.org.au or contact the relevant Returning Officer as listed below.
Workplace delegate nominations are always welcome. Financial members of the Staff Association interested in becoming a workplace delegate are still encouraged to volunteer.
You don’t need any previous experience or special skills, just an ability to talk to your colleagues and the enthusiasm to make a difference.
If you’re interested in making a positive improvement to your workplace and support your fellow CSIRO workers, contact an organiser to find out how you can become a Staff Association delegate.
