About Us
The Collieries’ Staff and Officials Association works to ensure a robust, collective approach to supporting professionals in the coal mining industry around Australia.
When you join the Collieries’ Staff and Officials Association (CSOA), you can feel secure in the knowledge that your work issues, health, education and legal rights are backed by an organisation that understands the challenges and unique regulatory landscape of your profession. In fact, we have been fighting for the rights of workers in the coal mining industry since 1944.
Our members play an integral role in sustaining Australia’s resources economy. However, at CSOA we are also well aware that this crucial work is often undervalued. Our purpose is to ensure that members of this profession are not just appreciated by employers, but also remunerated and treated fairly.
