- Should paid parental leave be longer?
The Families Commission is calling for paid parental leave payments to be increased, and for the leave to be longer and easier to get.
The Government started funding paid parental leave in 2002 and parents are able to take 14 weeks paid leave, one to two weeks unpaid paternity leave and 38 weeks of unpaid job-protected leave.
