In February, representatives from all states and territories came together at the National Portable Long Service Leave Conference hosted by the Victorian Portable Long Service Leave Authority.

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.

New Services Industry Scheme

Portable Long Service Leave has been expanded to allow workers in the hairdressing, beauty, accommodation and food services industries to accrue long service leave. The new scheme will start in April 2025.
