What is portable long service?
The NSW portable long service schemes allow eligible workers in the building and construction, contract cleaning, and community services industries to accrue long service leave across multiple jobs, employers, and contracts.
Unlike traditional long service leave, which is typically earned after 10 years with a single employer, portable long service leave recognises continuous service within an industry, making it more accessible to workers.
Long Service Corporation administers and manages these schemes.
