Interstate Schemes

​We are only able to record service for work performed in South Australia.

If you employ community services workers interstate, you may need to register them with the Portable Long Service Leave scheme in that State or Territory. Currently no agreement exists between schemes to recognise service recorded in other jurisdictions, however there are provisions in the Portable Long Service Leave Act 2024 for the recognition of interstate service when such an agreement exists.

Contact details for all schemes can be found at ausleave.com.au or below:
