Excellent to see the length of Australia’s national Paid Parental Leave scheme extended and a reserved allocation for non-birthing parents. Proud to have played a part (with @sammostyn and other WEET colleagues) in recommending this change to federal government 😎💃🏽⭐️👇🏽
Today we’re finalising our significant expansion of Paid Parental Leave to 26 weeks by July 2026. This investment is all about promoting parenting as an equal partnership while boosting the economy — how good is that.
