Laugh & Learn: Portable Long Service Leave (with LeavePlus)

Portable long service leave is one of those topics many of us know about… but aren’t always confident we fully understand.

As part of our return to quarterly educational events, we’re kicking things off with a practical Laugh & Learn session delivered by LeavePlus, the building industry’s portable long service leave fund.

This session won’t be for everyone — but if you’re the person managing HR, payroll, compliance, or people responsibilities, this is a must-attend.

We’ll unpack:

• how portable long service leave actually works
• common misunderstandings and risks
• what employers need to know and do
• and the questions you didn’t even know you should be asking

No jargon. No overwhelm. Just clear explanations, real examples, and space to ask questions in a relaxed, supportive environment.

Because the truth is…
you never know what you don’t know, until you know.

Perfect for business owners, office managers, partners of tradies, or anyone responsible for the people side of the business.
