We ensure workers in covered industries are able to access the valuable benefits of long service leave. We also give employers the tools and information they need to meet their responsibilities under the Long Service Leave (Portable Schemes) Act 2009.
We support leave that travels.

Purpose
We deliver portable long service leave schemes for these industries:
The ACT Government is expanding portable long service leave schemes with the new services industry scheme to commence in 2025. The services industry scheme will include:
- contract cleaning
- hairdressing and beauty services
- accommodation and food services
Eligible employers in covered industries must be registered with us. Workers’ portable long service leave can travel with them as they move between registered employers in a covered industry.
Role of ACT Leave
We are a Territory Authority established under the Long Service Leave (Portable Schemes) Act 2009.
To deliver our duties under the Act, our team:
- identifies eligible employers, assisting them to understand their obligations under the scheme, and ensuring they register their business and eligible workers
- collects levies from employers
- keeps records of worker service and employer payments to schemes
- assesses and pays out portable long service leave benefits to workers and pays reimbursements to employers
- keeps track of scheme assets and liabilities through annual and triennial reports
- invests long service leave funds
- reports to the ACT Government and Legislative Assembly.
