Hi,
I have been working for the same business for over 12 years and recently left my job with no real notice, just calls and
texts. Am I still entitled to my long service leave, I'm in NSW Sydney

Generally, yes, but you need to find out where your long service leave entitlement comes from, the pre-modern award or the NSW long service leave act. Then you could know how long the leave you are entitled to. You could call fair work info line to check the awards. If there is a pre-modern award applies to you, it will exclude the application of the legislation.
