Update 3 June 2010
Dear Members,
The Centre on behalf of the Board and its members wrote to Minister Neville on Thursday 27th May with our response to the PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) consultancy on the proposed PLSL scheme. We believe the report from PwC supports the concerns the sector has been expressing through the Centre and also provided solutions to those concerns.
The main request which our letter conveyed (copy attached) called for financial support from government for the first ten years of the scheme to partner the sector until benefits for employers materialize.
The letter to Minister Neville, the PwC report and their presentation to the reference group are all available as links on this page.
Dan Gleeson (9094 3510), Membership and Operations Manager is available to discuss this piece of advocacy with any members.

PwC PLSL Final Report
Update 15 March 2010
Dear Members,
The Centre and its membership are waiting the reply by the government to the consultancy it commissioned of PricewaterhouseCoopers on its Portable Long Service proposal. The consultancy took place during January and we believe the government received the report early February.
Generally, our members were impressed by PWC’s preparedness to discuss and consider our ideas and concerns but of course the response from government is the crucial thing.
What we seek is a GOOD PRODUCT at a GOOD PRICE and we still need to see significant movement from government on the four issues of cost, complexity, scope and timing before we can recommend this initiative to our members.
