Long Service Leave (Portable Schemes) Act 2009

This section applies in relation to a voluntary member’s service in a covered industry for work done in the industry not earlier than 1 year before the voluntary member became a registered voluntary member for the industry.

The registrar may credit the voluntary member with 1 day of service in the workers register for the covered industry for each day worked—

either—

for which the voluntary member gives the board a record of the particulars mentioned in section 58 (1) (Registered voluntary members to keep records) for the voluntary member’s service; or

if the registrar is satisfied the voluntary member worked in the covered industry; and

for which the voluntary member has paid the authority the levy determined under section 56 (Determination of levy—voluntary members).

To remove any doubt, a voluntary member is not entitled to credit for service in a covered industry in relation to work done before the industry became a covered industry.
