Is there any study or 'research' that you would be interested in doing (that would benefit the employer) during your leave? It may assist if your employers are unsure about the idea.
Checked out the award today and there is no provision for unpaid leave. We are yet to develop EBAs so that is not anything to consider either.
I guess the issue is more that they will need to find someone to do my job in my absence which will be difficult where I am, but then that also means that I will be hard to replace if they were to not permit it and I left anyway iykwim.
