Under the Standard, sick leave was referred to as personal leave. Carer's leave was part of the same entitlement and could be used to provide care and support to a member of an employee's immediate family or household. Ten days of paid personal/carer's leave were available for employees every year. For part-time employees and those who were within the first 12 months of employment, this type of leave was available on a pro-rata basis. Casual employees were not eligible for paid personal/carer's leave.
