Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says “we will expand paid parental leave to 26 weeks” at the New South Wales Labor Conference.
“By 2026 every family with a new baby will be able to access a total of six months paid leave, shared between the two parents and single parents will be able to access all 26 weeks,” Mr Albanese said.
“We will give families more leave and more flexibility to ensure the system works in a way that’s best for them. Our plan will mean more families take up this leave, sharing that precious time and share the caring responsibilities more equally.
“This plan will support dads who want to take time off work to be more involved in those early months. It’s a modern policy for modern families.
“It delivers more choice, it offers greater security and importantly it rewards aspiration and just like the cheaper childcare that we are delivering, this is economic reform.”
