Family and domestic violence leave
The NES provide minimum entitlements for unpaid family and domestic violence leave for national system employees. Unlike other NES leave entitlements, the entitlement to family and domestic violence leave is available from the first day an employee commences work and renews in full at the start of each subsequent year. The entitlement does not accrue from year to year.
Modern awards and enterprise agreements may also include provisions that are ancillary or incidental to the family and domestic violence leave entitlements under the NES, or which supplement those entitlements.
Employees who are not covered by the NES may be entitled to community service leave under state legislation.
See Family and domestic violence leave.
