Looking forward to 2023 and modernizing branch dues collection, the Victoria Branch has amended our policy regarding manual cheques. The Branch has decided to implement the automatic dues deduction (DCO) as required for all members beginning in 2023.
This is common practice in many other branches and assists the executive greatly in streamlining notifications, manual logging, and cheque processing.
It’s very simple to convert over to the “once a year in February” automatic deduction from your pension payment. There is no need for banking information – we just need your 8-digit Pension Person ID (PID) number which can be found on any correspondence you receive from the Pension Corporation.
You can Email this to our branch contacts:

Note that this policy is applicable for those members in receipt of a Public Service Pension and not Associate Members.
