This a far cry from Canada’s 35 weeks of paid parental leave, to be split between both parents, if desired, on top of the 15 weeks initial paid maternity leave. <br><br>What action can be taken to advocate for a more comprehensive maternity leave scheme?Tue, 27 Jan 2009 16:27:18 GMTAdminhttp://forum.mindfood.com/Topic9-9-1.aspxsee what you don't understand is that employers will be more reluctant to employ women in the workforce if this comes into action.Thu, 30 Oct 2008 21:27:07 GMTBela1se!http://forum.mindfood.com/Topic9-9-1.aspxI agree, Cass. I think it's a step in the right direction. I know quite a few people out there who will benefit from this and know how important it is to them. People forget how important those first few months are for mother-baby-father bonding.Tue, 30 Sep 2008 17:02:03 GMTJanehttp://forum.mindfood.com/Topic9-9-1.aspxThe Australian government's productivity commission has issued a draft report for a national paid parental leave scheme.<br><br>Have a look at it here: http://www.pc.gov.au/projects/inquiry/parentalsupport/draft/draftreports-media-release<br><br>It proposes 18 weeks paid parental leave (shared between mother and father) at the adult min wage of $544 per week. Tax payers will fund the scheme and employers will still have to make superannuation contributions.<br><br>What does everyone think?<br><br>I think it's still not enough, but it's a start at least. Australia has lagged behind other countries on this issue for too long. <br>Tue, 30 Sep 2008 11:26:33 GMTCass
