Serial S412 - The State Service

The Queensland State Service Union was formed in 1902, and was initially called the Public Service Association of Queensland. It changed its name to the Public Service General Officers' Association of Queensland in 1915 and then to the QSSU in 1924. Since 1999 it has been known as the Queensland Public Sector Union. The Queensland State Service Union was the first registered Union in Queensland representing members employed in the Queensland Public Service Departments. In 1913 the Public Service Association of Queensland comprised the General Officers Association, the Professional Officers Association, and the Queensland Teachers Union. The union continues to serve Public Service employees, members employed in universities, a range of statutory authorities, as well as the public and private health sector.
