PSA members in the Department for Child Protection are facing escalating pressures in their work. The needs of children and families are becoming more complex, and workers are dealing daily with crisis situations, violence, assaults, mental health concerns and unsafe environments. Despite these growing challenges, DCP workers remain undervalued and underpaid.

Thank you to everyone who stood with us as we took our EB campaign directly to Minister Katrine Hildyard’s office to demand fair pay, safe workloads, and genuine respect for the critical work our members do protecting vulnerable children across South Australia.
