Balancing work and family or other commitments
Our flexible work practices mean you can more effectively balance work and family/life commitments. You will be able to discuss with your manager flexible options that are appropriate for your role and work area, such as:
- parental leave, including 14 weeks paid maternity leave and an additional period of unpaid leave, as well as special responsibility
- accrued time off (flex-time)
- part-time employment
- job sharing opportunities
- purchased leave (leave without pay that gives you more time off in a year than the standard four weeks' recreation leave)
- teleworking (working from outside your workplace using telecommunications technology)
- phased retirement.
The terms and conditions of employment are set out in the Public Service Act 2008, the Queensland Public Service Officers and Other Employees Award - 2015 (PDF, 821KB) and the State Government Entities Certified Agreement 2019 (PDF, 1.17MB).
