12 months of paid parental leave - sign the petition

✍️ Add your name to give every baby the first year they deserve.

A baby's first year lays the foundation for the rest of their life.

But right now, Australia funds just 26 weeks of paid parental leave, paid at minimum wage. For most families, that's simply not enough.

Instead of choosing how they want to share their baby's first year, parents are forced to make financial decisions. One parent stays home. The other goes back to work. Patterns that last for years are set before families ever had a real choice.

It doesn't have to be this way.

The Parenthood is campaigning for 12 months of paid parental leave at a replacement wage, with dedicated leave for both parents, so every family can afford to share their baby's first year.

If you believe every baby deserves a strong foundation and every family deserves a first year they can afford to share, add your name today.

Here For It. From Day One.

    12 months of paid parental leave at a replacement wage. Good for babies, good for families, good for employers, good for Australian society.
