Important Client Portal information

ACT Leave is launching a new client portal to provide a more streamlined way of managing portable long service leave within the ACT.

To prepare for the launch of the new system, the current portal will be switched off from 3.55pm on Thursday 28 November 2024. From this time there will be no access to the portals, including for ACT Leave staff.

We expect the new portal will be available by Thursday 5 December 2024.
