A Voice for Members is made up of public servants all across Victoria. We represent the biggest government departments, down to the smallest independent agencies.
We first came together after negotiations for our 2024 VPS enterprise agreement negotiations left us feeling disempowered, ripped off, and shut out by our own union.
What we have in common is a desire to see democracy and accountability brought back to our union. You can read more about our policy platform here.
We believe our union’s current leadership and strategy needs revitalisation. That’s why, for the first time in over 31 years, we are contesting 38 of the 39 elected positions in our union through this year’s CPSU Vic election. We are also building a strong, long-lasting rank and file caucus while we do this.
You can find our candidates below, and use our How To Vote document to help fill out your ballot.
