Mobility and Transfers

Public sector employees who move to another agency or work location because of promotion, transfer or redeployment may be able to transfer some of their leave entitlements to their new NSW public sector role. This does not apply if the transfer is to/from a State-owned corporation. Transfer of entitlements is generally available where service with public sector employers remains continuous.

Public sector employees may be transferred - permanently or temporarily - to any public sector agency following consultation with the employee. For further information on transfers, go to:

• Commentary and Guidelines on staff mobility and cross-agency employment, Chapter 3 Personnel Handbook
• Public Sector Employment and Management Act 2002 especially s 86 temporary transfers, s 88 temporary assignments and s 100 cross-agency employment

Employees who are required to relocate to alternative locations are also entitled to assistance with moving and obtaining alternative accommodation. Please also view the following link for further information:
