Carer’s leave, also known as personal leave, allows you to take time off to help them support a family member or loved one with an illness that requires them to be cared for.
The National Employment Standards (NES) states that workers (except casual employees) must be entitled to paid carer’s leave. If you are a full-time employee, then you are usually entitled to 10 days paid carer’s leave for each year you work with your current employer.
