Please be advised that the ACT Government has updated its declaration of public holidays for April 2026, with an additional public holiday added for Saturday 25 April 2026, alongside the existing public holiday on Monday 27 April 2026.

The quarterly return calendars have been updated to reflect this change.

Effective from 1 July 2024, the levy rate for the Community Sector Industry Scheme will increase to 1.85%. An email advising of the change was sent on 5 February 2024.

From 1 April 2025, portable long service leave coverage in the ACT will extend to eligible workers in the services industry with the commencement of the Services Industry Scheme.

Once the scheme commences, the Contract Cleaning Industry Scheme will no longer exist as a separate scheme and will instead be incorporated into the new Services Industry Scheme.
