Long Service Leave entitlements

Portable long service entitlements for Queensland community service workers – *(Only Applies to employees covered by the Social, Community, Home Care & Disability Services Industry Award 2010)*

Legislation on Portable long service entitlements for Queensland community service workers is now operative in Queensland.

Under previous arrangements, a worker who has dedicated themselves to this industry for 10 years working in five different organisations, is not eligible for long service leave until they have a decade of continuous service with the one employer.

The scheme provides long service leave entitlements for service in the industry, rather than for service with a single employer.

The scheme commenced on 1 January 2021 and employers should be registered with QLeave.

If you think your employees should be covered by the scheme, contact QLeave immediately.
