An eligible employee is entitled to 52 weeks of unpaid parental leave. This period of unpaid parental leave will be reduced by any period of authorised leave taken by the employee (such as paid maternity leave, annual leave or long service leave), and any other parental leave taken by the employee’s spouse (other than a period of one week from the time of birth or three weeks in the case of adoption). The employer will grant unpaid parental leave in accordance with Part 7, Division 6 of the Workplace Relations Act 1996. A copy of these provisions will be posted in a public place such as staff notice board or intranet and are available on request to the employer.

An eligible employee includes: • a full-time or part-time employee who has completed 12 months of continuous service with the employer; and • a casual employee who has been employed by the employer on a regular and systematic basis for a period (or sequence of periods) of at least 12 months, where such an employee has a reasonable expectation of continuing employment with the employer on a regular and systematic basis.
