Benefits
Portable long service leave is a vital part of our industry. It supports self-employed subcontractors to take a well-earned break when they need to take time out and recharge.

Scheme Coverage
The scheme covers building, construction, electrical and metal workers. Check if your trade is fully covered or partially covered.

Obligations
Self-employed working subcontractors may have different obligations according to their individual circumstances.

Charges
Self-employed working subcontractors can make optional contributions to build up their long service leave entitlement.

Building Up Service
Subcontractors build up service by making quarterly payments towards their own long service leave entitlement, building on top of any service you may have built up as a worker or apprentice.

Entitlement
Your self-employed working subcontractor entitlement works differently to any entitlement built up through service as a worker or apprentice.

Online Services
Online Services provides you with a platform where you can manage your registration all at the click of a button.
