Hi all,
Wife will be giving birth in about 4-5 months.
At her workplace she is eligible for 12 weeks paid parental leave.
I have also been told that she is able to get payment from the government and have been looking at the following link for info; https://www.humanservices.gov.au/individuals/services/centre…
So am I right in thinking that she can get 12 weeks from her employer and then 18 weeks of Parental Leave Pay from the government??
She is eligible according to the criteria set out but I'm not sure if I am understanding it correctly.
Much appreciated! :)
Look up your wife's award, EBA or contract. If it's not obvious call FairWork for clarification.
