Never had enough time for that around the world trip or to finish that renovation project? The Deferred Salary Scheme is here to help you take an extended break from work and do the things you have always wanted to.

The Deferred Salary Scheme (DSS) allows staff to defer the payment of a proportion of their pre-tax salary for three years, before accessing a continuous paid absence of 24 weeks, funded by their accumulated deferred salary. Staff can use the absence for any reason, provided there is no conflict of interest with their duties and role at Macquarie University.

Applications are open from Monday, 4 November to Friday 15 November.
