Australian national trade union

CPSU, the Community and Public Sector Union (more commonly known as the CPSU) is a national trade union in Australia. The union came was established on 1 July 1994 with the amalgamation of the Public Sector, Professional, Scientific, Research, Technical, Communication, Aviation and Broadcasting Union (PSU) with the State Public Service Federation (SPSF). The CPSU currently has around 41,000 members.

For historical and administrative reason, the CPSU operates through two groups: the SPSF Group and the PSU Group. The SPSF Group (State Public Service Federation) represents the State public sector employees, some former public sector employees, and university professional staff. The PSU Group (Public Services Union) represents Commonwealth government employees, Northern Territory and Australian Capital Territory employees, and employees in former Commonwealth government entities. These groups reflect the pre existing eligibility and industrial coverage of the amalgamating organisations. The CPSU has over 120,000 members, with 48,913 members in the PSU Group (which includes the CSIRO Section) and 74,869 members in the State Public Service Federation (SPSF) Group, as of 30 June 2018. The CPSU is affiliated with the Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU) and the CPSU PSU Group is affiliated with the Australian Labor Party (ALP).

The CPSU SPSF Group uses the branding of "The Professional Staff Union" due to its representation of only professional staff throughout higher education. Along with their Associated Bodies representing administrative and support staff through state based schools and TAFEs, nationwide the CPSU is the largest union representing public education employees from kindergarten to university.
