NSW Community Services Workers Gain Digital Access to Portable Long Service Leave via Appian Platform
Event summary
- NSW's Long Service Corporation launched an Appian-powered digital portal to streamline portable long service leave for community services workers.
- Since April 2026, the platform has processed over $57 million in levy payments and enrolled 180,000+ workers across 2,400 employers.
- The solution integrates with MyServiceNSW accounts for secure identity verification and digital notifications.
- Appian Process HQ is used to monitor adoption, compliance, and operational performance.
The big picture
This initiative addresses a critical gap for community services workers who often face fragmented employment histories. The success of this portal could set a precedent for modernizing portable benefits across other industries with non-traditional employment structures. With projected levy collections exceeding $100 million by September 2026, the scale of participation signals strong demand for such digital solutions in the public sector.

- Scalability
- How Appian's solution will handle additional case management functionality in future phases.
