PORTABLE LONG SERVICE LEAVE
Coal LSL ensures employees are connected with their long service leave benefits.

Our StoryMidway through last century, retention of workers in the black coal industry was a challenge. Portable long service leave was identified as an important requirement to retain skills and support industry longevity. The coal mining industry award was changed to reflect this.
Coal LSL is the Australian Government corporation established to regulate and manage long service leave entitlements on behalf of eligible employees in the black coal mining industry. We manage one of the most generous long service leave programs in Australia.
