The Public Service Association (PSA) represents State public sector workers in South Australia. In addition to its recognised industrial role, the PSA actively promotes the vital role of the public sector in the South Australian economy and community. This State Budget submission is a contribution to the achievement of this objective. In this Budget Submission the PSA highlights the pressing need for the State Government to develop and implement a Public Sector Workforce Development Strategy to avoid the emergence of a workforce crisis in 2011 as the baby boomer generation reaches retirement age.
