What is Portable Long Service Leave?

Portable long service in Australia enables workers in certain industries to accumulate long service benefits, transferable across employers within the same industry. Each Australian state has its own legislation governing this scheme, ensuring that workers retain their long service entitlements even when they change jobs. This system is particularly relevant in industries with high mobility or casual employment, providing a fair and consistent approach to long service leave across various sectors.

Each state in Australia has its own legislation and different sectors that they cover. ezileaves main focus has been on the Victorian Portable Long Service Scheme which is the newest of the schemes to be implemented. However, we do support each states implementation. Get in contact to discuss how we can help.
