The Public Service Association (Māori: Te Pūkenga Here Tikanga Mahi), or PSA, is a democratic trade union with over 90,000 workers in the New Zealand public sector.
The stated aims of the PSA are to provide support for public and not-for-profit community services, support worker voices and participation though unions, ensure workplaces are free from discrimination, and advance the Te Tiriti o Waitangi principles of partnership, protection and participation, as they relate to the working lives of the union's members.
The PSA is affiliated with the New Zealand Council of Trade Unions and Public Services International but is forbidden, by its own rules, from affiliating with political parties or organisations.: Rule 8(2)
