We ensure workers in covered industries are able to access the valuable benefits of portable long service leave. We also give employers the tools and information they need to meet their responsibilities under the Long Service Leave (Portable Schemes) Act 2009.
We support leave that travels.

Purpose
We deliver portable long service leave schemes for these industries:
From 1 July 2026, the Services Industry Scheme will expand to include:
- hairdressing and beauty services
- accommodation and food services
Eligible employers in covered industries must be registered with us.
Workers’ portable long service leave can travel with them as they move between registered employers in a covered industry.
Role of ACT Leave
We are a Territory Authority established under the Long Service Leave (Portable Schemes) Act 2009.
Our team:
- identifies eligible employers, assisting them to understand their responsibilities under the scheme, and ensuring they register their business and eligible employees
- collects levies from employers
- keeps records of worker service and employer payments to schemes
- assesses and pays out portable long service leave benefits to workers and pays reimbursements to employers
- keeps track of scheme assets and liabilities through regular reporting
- invests long service leave funds
- reports to the ACT Government and Legislative Assembly.
