Thankfully access to paid parental leave is finally a right for ALL Australian working parents, effective 1 January 2010.
But just what does this mean for employers and parents? Who is eligible? What are they entitled to and how will it work? What about working women currently pregnant due before January 2011, what will they be eligible for? What about the baby bonus?
The Federal Government is yet to publish the updated Paid Parental Leave scheme details in answer to these questions on its DEEWR and Fair Work Australia websites, however, employers and parents will find its published interim Booklet - Australia's Paid Parental Leave Scheme - offers some useful informations and answers to common questions.
Parents and Employers can find out more about parental leave entitlements and returning to work via mums@work helpline:
