Overseas Professional Development Leave Sample Clauses
The Overseas Professional Development Leave clause establishes the terms under which employees may take leave to pursue professional development opportunities outside their home country. Typically, this clause outlines eligibility criteria, the application and approval process, and the types of activities that qualify, such as attending international conferences, workshops, or training programs. Its core function is to support employee growth and skill enhancement by enabling access to global learning experiences, while also ensuring that such absences are managed and approved in a structured manner.

(c) Overseas professional development leave may be taken wholly or partly within Australia by agreement between the employer and practitioner.
(d) A practitioner may apply to take overseas study leave in advance, but if their employment is terminated before the end of the qualifying period they shall repay the employer the value of the leave and the funding source any other amounts received. The employer may deduct the amount determined by the funding source as repayable and repay the funding source from money due to the practitioner by reason of the other provisions of this Agreement at the time of termination. The funding source may waive all or part of the amount repayable.
