Help make Australia the best place in the world to be a parent

Every parent wants the same thing: for their children to thrive.

Too many families are being let down by systems that make parenting harder than it needs to be. Childcare is becoming unaffordable, many parents don't have enough time at home with their new baby, and family-friendly workplaces remain out of reach for too many Australians.

That's why The Parenthood exists.

We work to create a future where every family has access to:

• One year of paid parental leave
• Affordable, accessible and high-quality early childhood education and care
• Family-friendly workplaces

Together, we've helped achieve:

✓ Longer paid parental leave
✓ Superannuation on paid parental leave
✓ A 15% wage increase for early childhood educators
✓ Measures to improve the safety, quality and affordability of early childhood education and care
