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.
Right now, Australia funds 26 weeks of paid parental leave, at minimum wage. For most families, it's not enough.
So parents don't get to choose how they share their baby's first year. They make a financial decision instead. One parent stays home. The other goes back to work. Patterns that last for years get set before families ever get 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 the year that matters most.
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.
