Draft ULPA form
The draft ULPA form will be available to download from 1 September 2026.
ULPA data is submitted through the approved ULPA form and supporting documentation, including audit material, as specified by Coal LSL.
The draft ULPA form must be submitted within 6 months of lodging the Notice of Intention. The purpose of the draft ULPA form is to provide Coal LSL an opportunity to consult with employers and provide feedback before the final ULPA is lodged.
Guidance Notes
Coal LSL has developed three Guidance Notes to help employers and employees understand key aspects of the Amendment Act and the ULPA process. These Guidance Notes provide practical guidance only and do not constitute legal advice or determine legal rights or obligations.
Coal LSL has also published 5 additional Guidance Notes covering key aspects of the black coal mining industry long service leave legislation. View Guidance Notes.
