Date Time ACTU calls on FWC to reconsider 10 days paid Family and Domestic Violence Leave The ACTU has asked the Fair Work Commission to initiate a review to reconsider the need for 10 days paid leave for those experiencing family and domestic violence. Paid leave is essential for people who are experiencing family and domestic while also trying to stay in work. The process of leaving an abusive partner and finding a new, safe space for yourself and your family costs on average almost $20,000 and takes more than 141 hours. The Morrison Government’s current provision of unpaid leave fails to properly protect people in crisis.
