Natasha Beneke
We need a union that is present, active, and fights for members, especially in tough times. It’s time for a strong, accountable union. I’m ready to help make that happen with PSA Change.
Pam Murray
1986 was the year that I joined my colleagues at Parliament House to campaign for fairer wages for childcare workers. This commenced a 38-year commitment as a union member through various industries. I recognise the need for new leadership at the PSA and I will bring my experience to ensure every member’s rights are protected.
Patrick Kirkham
I’m Patrick Kirkham and I’m passionate about policy and the protection of the public.
I’m proud to follow in the footsteps of my father, John Kirkham—a long-standing public servant and passionate unionist.
I’m ready to bring a fresh voice, energy and yes, a bit of cheek, for a strong union with PSA Change. It’s time for bold leadership that connects with today’s workforce.
Tim Powell
I am dedicated to advocating for the rights and wellbeing of allied health professionals across the public service. My commitment to advocating for child protection workers and social workers more broadly comes from firsthand experience of the sector’s demands.
Alice Campbell
I am dedicated to advancing the interests and voice of our members in every union decision. I will work tirelessly to ensure that our union’s decisions reflect the priorities of the people we represent.
Liam Dwyer
As a lifelong unionist, I understand the fundamental role of a union is representing members’ interests. Root and branch change is needed. PSA Change offers a new way forward. We have a unique opportunity, with EA bargaining underway to restore strength and credibility to our union.
Andrew Patten
I’ve worked in the public sector for 30 years. Throughout my career I’ve seen how emergency service staff are expected to do more with less. I’ve seen the unique challenges faced by regionally based staff. I will push hard for practical change that improves members’ working lives.
Michelle Holthouse
I’ve been a proud PSA member for over 25 years; serving as a dedicated Worksite Representative since 2016. Now more than ever members need strong union support, representation and clear communication. We must rebuild relationships between delegates and management, and we need stability in our union representation.
Edward August
I support PSA Change because we need a strong union to advance the interests of members in all areas, including those with smaller groups, like AHPs and POs. We have fallen behind other states and it’s time for new leadership to get us back on track.
Lucy Jensen
As a lawyer and policy professional with broad experience in the public sector and trade unions across multiple industries, I understand what it takes to turn good intentions into real, lasting wins for members. We need leadership with the skills and commitment to engage members and deliver results.
Nicole Morton
I believe every member deserves to feel safe, respected, and heard at work. Too often, regional voices are overlooked, workloads are excessive, and our conditions fall behind. With PSA Change, I’ll help lead the change to fix that.
Rita Tasevski
I have been a proud union member for 20 years. I believe unions have a crucial role to play in the balance of power in the workplace. My public sector roles have provided me with invaluable experience in leadership, planning and execution, as well as a deep understanding of the challenges faced by our members.
Kellie Daniel
I’m standing with PSA Change because I’ve seen how far health and pathology workers have been left behind. As Branch Councillor, I’ll bring strong, informed advocacy, especially for regional members whose needs are too often overlooked.
Robert Thompson
For the past 8 years I’ve proudly served as a worksite representative. I have consistently advocated for the rights of my colleagues—both individually and collectively—striving to improve working conditions and ensure a fair and safe environment for all.
Anthony Cooke
I’ve stood with unions since the 1990s, starting in student advocacy at UniSA and continuing throughout my public service career. I’m proud to be a strong, vocal advocate for members, especially those in regional and frontline roles, who for too long are overlooked by metro-focussed leadership.
Sarah King
For those who don’t know me, I am a passionate and fearless advocate for workers’ rights. I believe no compromise is acceptable when it comes to securing decent outcomes for union members. My career has included 10 years working for unions, with 7 of those as a union organiser.
Craig Bates
I am a current Councillor and long-time worksite rep. We’ve endured endless change, worsening safety. We need leadership that is not silent when it matters most. Members must be supported and staffing levels addressed. PSA Change leadership will stand up, not stand back.
Gary Keith
Our safety, pay, and working conditions must be treated as non-negotiable. I’ve always backed my colleagues, and if elected, I will fight hard to make sure your voice is heard and respected. Together we will continue to build a strong, united union. I bring honesty, strength and clear commitment to action.
