Know your rights when it comes to paid parental leave

In service-wide bargaining, the CPSU secured significant improvements to paid parental leave for birth, adoption and long-term foster care.

This includes new and improved minimum paid parental leave standards which parents are able to use flexibly up to 24 months after a baby is born or from placement of the child.

Parents of a new born, adopted or fostered child prior to the commencement of the new agreement, and who are within the 24-month parental leave window, are also eligible for a ‘top up’ of additional paid leave available under new agreements, as long as this is used within the 24-month period.
