Members working in the NSW Pubic Service are entitled to domestic violence leave. FIVE days of this leave is in our Awards, and another FIVE days in in a Premier’s Memorandum from 2018. Members should be able to access a total of ten days’ leave per annum. Certain conditions have to be met- you can read more about these in the links above.

Members in other workplaces may have entitlements to domestic violence leave too, depending on the terms in your enterprise agreement or Award. If you’re uncertain what your entitlement is, you can find a list of agreements here on our website (insert link to awards and agreements page).
