Under the national provisions, a full time, part time or casual employee is able to take paid FDV leave if:

• the employee is experiencing family and domestic violence; and
• the employee needs to do something to deal with the impact of the family and domestic violence; and
• it is impractical for the employee to do that thing outside the employee’s ordinary hours of work.

The paid FDV leave entitlement is in addition to the minimum five days' unpaid family and domestic violence leave available to all employees in the state system under the Minimum Conditions of Employment Act 1993.

More information is on the Family and domestic violence leave page.
