A plea from the Human Rights Commission for the Coalition government to relent on its hard line on specific domestic violence leave for public servants has been rejected.

Minister for women Michaelia Cash has told the Commission that public servants have enough access to leave if they are victims of abuse in the home and that no changes to the government's tough bargaining stance would be made, Commission staff have been told.

Minister for women Michaelia Cash said public servants have enough access to leave if they are victims of abuse in the home.

The HRC took the unusual step of bypassing Public Service Commissioner John Lloyd, who enforces the controversial bargaining policy, and appealing directly to the minister after being told by Mr Lloyd's agency that specific leave provisions for domestic violence victims were not allowed.
