Leave

Leave is time away from work that can be taken for a number of reasons, such as caring for sick family members or going on a holiday. Australian workers and their unions have fought for and won a range of important leave and holiday entitlements that are among the best in the world. Minimum leave entitlements are included in the National Employment Standards. Your award, enterprise agreement or contract of employment may include extra leave entitlements. In this section you will find information on:

  • Family and Domestic Violence Leave
  • Maternity and Paternity Leave
  • Leave Loading
  • Annual Leave
  • Sick and Carer's and Compassionate Leave
  • Long Service Leave
  • Community Service Leave
  • Public Holidays
