I currently work for public health and have just been offered employment at the Medically Supervised Injecting Centre (MSIC) in Potts Point. I have heard that even though MSIC is run by Uniting Care, I can transfer my long service leave accruals from my current public health employer. Is this true?

Yes, when Uniting Care first became responsible for the day to day running of MSIC, Uniting and NSW Health agreed that MSIC will come under the umbrella of the War Memorial Hospital Waverly and as War Memorial is a schedule 3 listed facility (as per the Public Health Act 1997) employees of MSIC can transfer their entitlements.

Further information on this can be found in clause 18.1.4 of the Leave Matters Manual (PD2023_045).
