Summary

The Professional Officers' Association, Commonwealth Public Service was registered federally in 1917 and operated until 1975 when it changed its name to the Professional Officers' Association, Australian Public Service. The Union continued operating under this name, despite a merger in 1991 with the Australian Government Lawyers' Association. In 1992, however, the Professional Officers' Association, Australian Public Service was amalgamated with the Australian Public Sector & Broadcasting Union, Australian Government Employment and became the Australian Public Sector Professional & Broadcasting Union, Australian Government Employment. Later in the same year, as a result of a further amalgamation with the Professional Radio & Electronics Institute of Australasia, this union became known as the Public Sector Professional Technical Communications Aviation & Broadcasting Union. In 1993 the union changed once again to become the Public Sector Professional Scientific Research Technical Communications Aviation & Broadcasting Union following a further amalgamation with the newly formed CSIRO Staff Association. An influx of members from the deregistered State Public Services Federation in 1994 stimulated another change of name to the Community & Public Sector Union [CPSU].
