In order to safeguard the health of our staff and the people we support, Life Without Barriers has committed to providing Additional Support Leave for casual, part-time and full-time front -line staff during the COVID-19 pandemic.
This will give front-line staff the confidence that they will have access to paid leave if they are unable to attend work due to contracting COVID-19 or a related illness; are required to self-quarantine; or are required to care for or support a family member.
Life Without Barriers acknowledges the dedication of our front-line staff, especially at this time, and is taking this extra measure to keep our staff, clients and the extended community safe.
By providing front-line staff with Additional Support Leave, Life Without Barriers aims to ensure that front-line staff remain physically and mentally well, and can continue to provide exceptional care to the people we support – including older Australians and people with disability.
Additional Support Leave will be available to all Life Without Barriers front-line staff who work directly with clients. It will be paid to staff who have no access to personal/carers leave (casual staff) or who have accrued insufficient personal/carers leave (part-time or full-time staff).
