Long service leave in Western Australia

Long service leave is a paid leave entitlement for employees. Many state and national system private sector employers and employees are covered by the WA Long Service Leave Act.
Last updated:

Full time, part time, casual and seasonal employees may have an entitlement to payment of long service leave when their employment ends after 7 years’ continuous employment, and an entitlement to take leave after 10 years’ continuous employment.

The entitlement to long service leave under the Long Service Leave Act depends on the length of the employee’s continuous employment, which may include service with a previous employer where there has been a change of business ownership.
