2023 – CPSU NSW/Aruma MSL/MC cohort Survey

Over the past few months, CPSU NSW has conducted several member meetings. During these members meetings, MSLs and MCs have provided feedback about the recent Aruma survey, along with their varied experiences in their roles.
 
On the whole, the feedback CPSU NSW has received from MSL/MC members about their real life experiences in these challenging roles has been far from positive.
 
Now that the Aruma staff survey has been undertaken, and, as a direct result of your feedback, CPSU NSW has decided to undertake its own survey of MSL/MC members.
 
All MSL/MCs employed in Aruma are encouraged to complete the CPSU NSW survey. Regardless of whether you are a CPSU NSW member or not, your participation in our survey is welcome.
 
Please speak to your MSL/MC colleagues and encourage them to participate in the survey so we have a broad range of feedback.
 
Some generalised information gained from the survey may be shared with Aruma. Only aggregated (for example percentages and gender based responses) along with anonymised survey data may be shared with Aruma to support CPSU NSW advocacy in support of MSL/MC members.
 
CPSU NSW will not share identifying information such as your name, work location or any other personal data with Aruma or any other third parties. This information is for CPSU NSW purposes and will help to inform the union during enterprise agreement bargaining and performance improvement program discussions for our members.
 
The main aim of the survey is to consult with you and get your frank feedback about your experiences in these roles. We ask for your name and contact details as our duty of care to members who may need follow up support if your response indicates you are struggling with the psychological and physical pressures associated with performing your crucial MSL/MC role in Aruma.
 
If you prefer to respond anonymously, without providing your name or work location, please continue to complete the survey.
