The Services Industry Scheme has commenced!

1 April 2025

From today, 1 April 2025, the Contract Cleaning Industry Scheme no longer exists as a separate scheme and has been rolled into the new Services Industry Scheme.

The new industries of hairdressing and beauty services and accommodation and food services, including hospitality services will join the scheme on 1 July 2026.

If you were previously registered in the Contract Cleaning Scheme, please ensure you update our contact details in your system with the new email address, services@actleave.act.gov.au. No other action is required from you—you have been automatically transferred into the new scheme.

There are no changes to employer obligations or worker entitlements under the new scheme.

Visit the Services Industry Scheme pages for more information.

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.

New client portal is now live!

The new ACT Leave client portal is now available.

The new portal has an improved user-friendly dashboard and heightened security measures with Two-factor Authentication, providing a smoother and safer overall experience.
