Flexible work agreement request
Before you begin
Refer to your manager or HR team to see if your agency has a form for this. Only use this form if your agency has approved its use.
Read Flexible work for employees and have a conversation with your manager before completing this form.
This flexible work agreement supports the Queensland public sector Flex-connect framework and the employee entitlements under the Industrial Relations Act 2016 (IR Act). To adhere to the requirements outlined in the framework and IR Act, you must:
- make your request in writing (i.e. complete this form)
- state your reasons and considerations
- provide sufficient detail to allow your manager to decide on the request.
After you submit
You will get a confirmation email of your submission. Your manager will receive a separate email that contains a link to respond to your request. They must action your request through the link within 21 days of receipt advising:
- a record of the decision
- any specific conditions
- any reasons or grounds for conditions or refusal
- your appeal and dispute rights.
If you believe the decision about an application for flexible work is unfair or unreasonable, you can:
- follow your organisation’s employee grievance procedure
- lodge a public service appeal if you have exhausted your organisation’s grievance procedure
- contact the Queensland Industrial Relations Commission who has jurisdiction to hear and decide a dispute under chapter 6 of the IR Act.
Your flexible work agreement should continue if there is a change of manager, except if compelling business needs require a new agreement to be completed. Make sure to keep a copy of your agreement.
If you are appointed to a new role, you will need to complete a new arrangement.
