How to apply

1. Confirm you must register: you employ workers to perform construction or maintenance work in Victoria for more than 5 days in any calendar month
2. Register your business online at leaveplus.com.au/employers/register/ — provide business name, ABN/ACN, contact details, and registered business address
3. Register each eligible worker through the LeavePlus member portal (casual, part-time, full-time, apprentices)
4. Each quarter, complete the Workers Days and Wages return form recording the number of construction days worked and ordinary pay for each eligible worker
5. Submit the quarterly return by the 14th of the month following the quarter end (e.g., 14 April for the January–March quarter) via the LeavePlus online portal
6. Receive the invoice from LeavePlus calculated at 2.7% of ordinary pay, and pay within 14 days by credit card or BPay using the unique BPay reference
7. Submit a nil return if no construction work was performed in that quarter — returns are mandatory even with no activity
8. When a worker leaves, finalise their service record in the portal; provide pay documentation when workers submit leave claims
