Paid Adoption Leave. The Basics If you are eligible for adoption related leave under the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth), there are two types of paid leave available to you when you are going through an adoption process. These include Pre- Adoption Leave and Adoption Leave. You will not be eligible for Paid Adoption Leave if you are eligible for the Government-funded PPL and have elected to receive 18 weeks Paid Parental Leave (make-up pay) for the adoption of your child. If you take your Paid Adoption Leave at half pay, all entitlements will accrue at half pay. Pre-Adoption Leave Pre-Adoption Leave is available to attend interviews or examinations in the process of gaining approval for the adoption of a child. You are entitled to up to 2 days Pre-Adoption Leave at ordinary pay which can be taken as a single continuous period or in separate periods up to 2 days.
