THE Legislative Assembly has passed the Long Service Leave Amendment Bill, which will allow workers in the hairdressing and beauty, and accommodation and food services industries to take their long-service entitlements with them when they move jobs within the same industry.

The scheme is administered by the Long Service Leave Authority, which will begin a program of implementation work, including a comprehensive education and awareness campaign for new industries joining the scheme.
