Sick Pay Guarantee - Sign up

Background 

The Victorian Government's Sick Pay Guarantee (SPG) provides eligible casual and contract workers with a guarantee they will receive sick pay when they can’t go to work. The SPG may pay up to 38 hours of personal and/or carer’s pay per year to eligible workers and is accessed online via the Service Victoria portal.

Victoria is the first state to provide sick and carer’s pay to casual and contract workers. The SPG is fully funded by the Victorian Government. 

A 12 months pilot program will be performed by neighbourhood and community, houses and centres (NCHCs) with the aim of supporting vulnerable and hard-to-reach eligible workers sign up to and access the SPG.
