Leave


Entitlements

You’re entitled to a range of types of leave from your training program under the Fair work Act 2009 (Cth) as per the NTCER (National Terms and Conditions for the Employment of Registrars). It’s your responsibility to know your entitlements.

TIP

We manage your leave from your training program but you’ll need to speak to your employer about leave you can take from work. The leave you’re entitled to may differ between workplaces and Australian states and territories. Ensure you check what your allowances are on the relevant government website.

In each six-month training term, you can take the following leave without advising your TC and ME unless it exceeds three weeks in total (pro rata). However, you’ll need to advise and/or negotiate this with your training site:

  • two weeks of paid annual leave
  • one week of paid sick or carers leave.
  • two days of compassionate leave
  • domestic violence leave
 

Negotiated study leave

Study leave isn’t an entitlement under the NTCER, however, your employer may choose to offer study leave (paid or non-paid) as a non-standard term in your employment contract. To assist in managing your wellbeing we’ll recognise a total of three days of study leave (pro-rata) per exam semester as training time. You must sit at least one examination in that semester. You only need to inform your TC or ME of this leave if it’s greater than three days (pro rata).
