Recently a member was engaged in numerous communiqués, initiated by ASNSW PSCU, after PSCU was informed of the intention to provide a statement to Police in the matter of a Coronial. Interestingly, the PSCU were very quick to provide the services of the ASNSW Barrister to attend with the member. Seems their reasoning was to provide ‘assistance and support during a stressful time’. Is this not what EMSPA has been doing from the outset, assisting and supporting their members, unconditionally? Their many offers were subsequently declined.

It is with pleasure that the Executive of EMSPA NSW Inc. advise that on 25th May 2010 at the GREAT an appeal, lodged against the Director General for the ASNSW, was withdrawn when an out of court settlement was agreed to at the eleventh hour. Negotiations between ASNSW Lawyers and Ffrench Lawyers representating our member facilitated this settlement and concluded in the ASNSW withdrawing their charge of misconduct against our member.  Please see the ‘members’ area for further details.

Want to know what has kept us busy? The Association Activities box (above right on the index page) has been slowly updated with some of our activities. Due to privacy constraints there is a lot of things we can't publicly say, however we've endeavoured to keep you in the loop as best we can be launching an 'EMSPA Case Updates' page available via the Association Activities box. It is a members only page with some of the cases our members have said they're happy to talk about - and a great way to keep you informed of what YOUR Association is doing to help you!
