Talk to our team01Can Leave Balance support Australian leave policies?
Leave Balance lets you configure common Australian leave types, policies, and state-specific public holidays.
Your organisation remains responsible for checking that its configuration and employment practices meet the Fair Work Act, applicable Modern Awards, agreements, and state requirements.
02How much does Leave Balance cost for Australian businesses?
AUD $29 per month (flat rate) or AUD $290 per year. There are no per-user fees, no minimums, and no hidden charges.
A team of 10 pays the same as a team of 200. This makes Leave Balance significantly more affordable than per-user alternatives for most Australian SMBs.

Yes. You can configure public holidays for every Australian state and territory — NSW, VIC, QLD, WA, SA, TAS, ACT, and NT.
Leave calculations automatically account for the correct public holidays based on each employee's work location.
04Can I track long service leave with Leave Balance?
Yes. Long service leave entitlements vary by state, and Leave Balance lets you set up separate policies for each jurisdiction your team operates in.
Accruals are tracked automatically, so you can see pro-rata entitlements and plan for upcoming milestones.
