This includes part-time and casual employees. Employees can take this leave if they need to do something to deal with the impact of family and domestic violence.
For those eligible, the leave has been added to the National Employment Standards (NES). This means it’s now a minimum leave entitlement, like annual leave or paid sick and carer’s leave.
Employees of small business employers (employers with less than 15 employees) can access this paid leave from 1 August 2023. Until then, they can continue to take unpaid family and domestic violence leave. Learn more at Unpaid family and domestic violence leave.
