Did you know about this leave??
All employees (including casuals) are entitled to 10 days of paid family and domestic violence leave per year.
An employee’s paid family and domestic violence leave entitlement is available in full at the start of their employment and resets on their work anniversary (it doesn’t accumulate from year to year).
This leave is separate from other types of leave, like annual leave or paid sick and carer’s leave.
