Who does the scheme cover?

Fulltime, part-time and casual cleaners employed by a business or self employed as a contractor to undertake commercial or domestic cleaning work under contract such as in offices, shopping centres, schools and hospitals.

Contracts may be verbal or written.

Not all cleaners are covered by the scheme. For example cleaners directly employed by an office, shopping centre, school or hospital to perform cleaning duties are not covered.

As Commonwealth places fall under the jurisdiction of the Commonwealth Government, work conducted on Commonwealth places cannot be credited under the NSW Contract Cleaning Industry Long Service Leave (CCI LSL) scheme, administered by the Long Service Corporation (LSC).

We are working with the Commonwealth Government to resolve this.

Whilst work on Commonwealth places does not currently count towards portable long service, the Corporation is maintaining records of this work to benefit you when we are able to count it. In this regard, all workers should register in the LSC portable long service scheme so we can have your service recorded.
