Congratulations to All Shrine Members. CPSU wishes to thank all Shrine of Remembrance members who participated in the vote on the proposed Enterprise Agreement.

With an 84% voter turnout and 100% YES, this is a powerful endorsement of the outcomes achieved through collective bargaining.

Acknowledging Contributor - We’d like to thank Neil Sharkey, Bargaining Representative, for his dedication and leadership throughout the negotiation process. His commitment ensured strong representation for all Shrine employees.

A Win for All – Agility Allowance Secured - This process has taken time, and we appreciate the patience of all members.

A major achievement in this agreement is the Agility Allowance to be paid each year, secured through persistent and strategic bargaining — an important and well-deserved outcome for Shrine members.

What’s Next? - CPSU and the Shrine will now begin the formal steps required to finalise the new agreement with Fair Work.

Key Improvements in Your New Enterprise Agreement

3% annual pay increase, effective 1 May each year from 2024 through 2027 (some nice backdating $'s coming)
$5,600 cost-of-living bonus (lump sum payment)
Agility Allowance of 1.25% per year, including a backdated lump sum for last year
2% progression payments each year with 1.5% if top-of-band 
Overtime entitlements extended to Grade 5 employees
New leave entitlements for Reproductive Health and Wellbeing
Congratulations again to all members—this is your win.

It's vital that we continue to grow our union—every new member strengthens our collective voice and increases our power to create meaningful change.

If you know someone who isn’t a member and is interested in joining, talk to them about the benefits of union membership and ask them to join CPSU today.
