  • New South Wales: full entitlement after 10 years, with payment on leaving possible from 5 years.
  • Before 10 years, payment on leaving depends on why the job ended. It is usually not paid after serious misconduct, and resignation may not qualify. Check the rules for your state.
  • Some industries have portable schemes or their own agreements, which this does not cover.
