No. 91/2020 were made on 1 September 2020 by the Governor in Council under section 79 of the **Long Service Benefits Portability Act 2018**, No. 44/2018 and came into operation on 1 October 2020: regulation 3.\n\nThe Long Service Benefits Portability Regulations 2020 will sunset 10 years after the day of making on 1 September 2030 (see section 5 of the **Subordinate Legislation Act 1994**).\n\nINTERPRETATION OF LEGISLATION ACT 1984 (ILA)\n\nStyle changes\n\nSection 54A of the ILA authorises the making of the style changes set out in Schedule 1 to that Act.\n\nReferences to ILA s. 39B\n\nSidenotes which cite ILA s. 39B refer to section 39B of the ILA which provides that where an undivided regulation, rule or clause of a Schedule is amended by the insertion of one or more subregulations, subrules or subclauses the original regulation, rule or clause becomes subregulation, subrule or subclause (1) and is amended by the insertion of the expression \"(1)\" at the beginning of the original regulation, rule or clause.\n\nInterpretation\n\nAs from 1 January 2001, amendments to section 36 of the ILA have the following effects:\n\n• Headings\n\nAll headings included in a Statutory Rule which is made on or after  \n1 January 2001 form part of that Statutory Rule. Any heading inserted in a Statutory Rule which was made before 1 January 2001, by a Statutory Rule made on or after 1 January 2001, forms part of that Statutory Rule.  \nThis includes headings to Parts, Divisions or Subdivisions in a Schedule; Orders; Parts into which an Order is divided; clauses; regulations; rules; items; tables; columns; examples; diagrams; notes or forms.  \nSee section 36(1A)(2A)(2B).\n\n• Examples, diagrams or notes\n\nAll examples, diagrams or notes included in a Statutory Rule which is made on or after 1 January 2001 form part of that Statutory Rule. Any examples, diagrams or notes inserted in a Statutory Rule which was made before 1 January 2001, by a Statutory Rule made on or after 1 January 2001, form part of that Statutory Rule. See section 36(3A).\n\n• Punctuation\n\nAll punctuation included in a Statutory Rule which is made on or after  \n1 January 2001 forms part of that Statutory Rule. Any punctuation inserted in a Statutory Rule which was made before 1 January 2001, by a Statutory Rule made on or after 1 January 2001, forms part of that Statutory Rule.  \nSee section 36(3B).\n\n• Provision numbers\n\nAll provision numbers included in a Statutory Rule form part of that Statutory Rule, whether inserted in the Statutory Rule before, on or after  \n1 January 2001. Provision numbers include regulation numbers, rule numbers, subregulation numbers, subrule numbers, paragraphs and subparagraphs. See section 36(3C).\n\n• Location of \"legislative items\"\n\nA \"legislative item\" is a penalty, an example or a note. As from 13 October 2004, a legislative item relating to a provision of a Statutory Rule is taken to be at the foot of that provision even if it is preceded or followed by another legislative item that relates to that provision. For example, if a penalty at the foot of a provision is followed by a note, both of these legislative items will be regarded as being at the foot of that provision. See section 36B.\n\n• Other material\n\nAny explanatory memorandum, table of provisions, endnotes, index and other material printed after the Endnotes does not form part of a Statutory Rule. See section 36(3)(3D)(3E).\n\n2 Table of Amendments\n\nThis publication incorporates amendments made to the Long Service Benefits Portability Regulations 2020 by statutory rules, subordinate instruments and Acts.\n\n–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––\n\nLong Service Benefits Portability Amendment Regulations 2021, S.R.

The main Act (the Long Service Benefits Portability Act 2018) created a system where workers in certain industries can accumulate long service leave even when they change employers—meaning your leave travels with you ('portable') rather than being tied to one boss. These regulations fill in the practical details.\n\n**Who it affects:**\n\n- **Workers** in three specific industries: community services (disability support, youth work, family violence services, etc.), contract cleaning, and security\n- **Employers** in those sectors who must report quarterly and pay into the scheme\n- **The Authority** (the government body running the scheme) who administers payments\n\n**Key things the rules cover:**\n\n- **Quarterly reporting:** Employers must tell the Authority every three months about any long service leave taken or paid, and which workers left their job\n- **Who's in and who's out:** \n  - In community services, only workers under specific awards (like the Social and Community Services Award) are covered. For-profit childcare centres and certain health services are excluded.\n  - In cleaning and security, you're excluded if your main job isn't actually doing the hands-on work (e.g., managers who don't clean)\n- **No double-dipping:** If you're already getting long service leave under a workplace agreement or the standard Long Service Leave Act, you can't also claim under this portable scheme for the same period\n- **How much you get:** If you leave the sector after 7+ years, you get paid 1/60th of your service period (minus any leave already taken), calculated on your final pay rate\n- **Information sharing:** The Authority can share data with the Tax Office and Labour Hire Licensing Authority\n\n**Why it matters:**\n\nThese rules determine whether a disability support worker who job-hops between three different non-profits gets paid out their long service leave when they burn out and leave the sector—or walks away with nothing after a decade of work. The 'no double-dipping' rules also prevent employers from being hit twice for the same worker's entitlements."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/long-service-benefits-portability-regulations-2020","history":"/api/acts/long-service-benefits-portability-regulations-2020/history","analysis":"/api/acts/long-service-benefits-portability-regulations-2020/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/long-service-benefits-portability-regulations-2020/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/long-service-benefits-portability-regulations-2020/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/long-service-benefits-portability-regulations-2020/documents"}}
