Portable Long Service Leave (Community Services Sector) Bill 2024

The Portable Long Service Leave (Community Services Sector) Bill 2024 introduces a new Act that will establish a scheme for the portability of long service leave in the community services sector.

It means that workers can accrue and access long service leave based on their years of service to the sector, rather than to a single employer.

We are seeking your feedback to:

understand any concerns that you may have about the application of the scheme to you
respond to any questions you may have about how the scheme will apply
consider other issues that may need to be addressed when the Regulations are developed and while the scheme is being implemented.

This phase of the survey is open for public feedback until Friday 3 May 2024.

To provide feedback, go to the Have Your Say website.
