This free webinar will give you the opportunity to understand Victoria’s Portable Long Service Benefits Scheme (the Scheme) in a simple and practical way.

In Australia, long service leave is usually earned by working for the same employer for a long time. In Victoria, if you work in the community services, contract cleaning or security sectors, you may also be able to build up portable long service benefits even when you change jobs. Portable long service means you can earn long service benefits based on your time working in an industry, not just with one employer.

In this session, you’ll learn how the Scheme works, who it covers, and what it might mean for you. You’ll also find out what you can do next, whether that’s checking your work history online or understanding what employers need to do.

This session is designed for workers, employers, and anyone who wants a clearer understanding of how the Scheme works. It will be explained in plain language, with time to ask questions.

By attending, you’ll leave with a better understanding of your entitlements and obligations, and with steps you can take to register with the Scheme.
