Anglican Long Service Leave Fund
The Church established the Anglican Long Service Leave Fund in 1966 by Canon of the General Synod of the Anglican Church of Australia to provide a benefit to a participant’s diocese/organisation to help it meet the cost when a participant takes a period of long service leave.
The Fifteenth General Synod in 2010 passed the Long Service Leave Canon 2010. This Canon came into effect on 1 January 2015 replacing the Long Service Leave Canon 1992 following assent by all Dioceses in 2014.
The Seventeenth General Synod in 2017 passed amendments to the Long Service Leave Canon 2010. These amendments came into effect on 2 October 2017.
The Eighteenth General Synod in 2022 passed amendments to the Long Service Leave Canon 2010. These amendments came into effect on 11 May 2022.
If you are a participant of the Long Service Leave Fund, please contact your diocese or participating organisation for further information. For all other queries, please contact the Fund Administrator via email lslf@anglican.org.au or on (02) 8267 2700.
