With the launch of the new portal, BPAY payment details have changed for some Working Directors to enhance security, streamline payment processes, and integrate more seamlessly with the new system.

The new BPAY details are now in effect.

What do I need to do?

Before you make your next levy contribution, you will need to check that your ACT Leave BPAY details in your online banking portal match the new BPAY details. Your BPAY details can be found on your next Return Payment Notice, as well as in the ‘How to Pay’ section on your dashboard in the new client portal.

If you have been issued with an invoice prior to the launch of the new client portal and the invoice has not yet been paid, please use the new BPAY details listed in the ‘How To Pay’ section in the new client portal. Using old BPAY details may delay receipt of your payment.

Learn more about the Services Industry Scheme
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.

The scheme incorporates the existing Contract Cleaning Industry Scheme and new industries of hairdressing and beauty services and accommodation and food services, including hospitality services.
Change to entry date for new industries to Services Industry Scheme
On 3 May 2026, the Minister for Skills, Training and Industrial Relations announced that the entry of the hair and beauty and accommodation and food services industries into the Services Industry Scheme will be delayed until 1 January 2027. This is in response to the challenging conditions many businesses are currently experiencing.

The Minister also announced additional relief for food and beverage businesses, with phased levy discounts over the first three years of the scheme. These discounts will not affect workers’ entitlements.
