Family & Domestic Violence Leave Entitlements

Recently the modern awards were changed to provide employees with access to 5 days of unpaid family and domestic violence leave each year.

The leave can be taken by employees who need to deal with the impact of family and domestic violence, including (but not limited to):

• making arrangements for their safety or that of a family member;
• attending court hearings;
• accessing police services.

The entitlement applies to all employees who are covered by an industry or occupation based award (including casuals).
