RIGHT TO REQUEST FLEXIBLE WORK ARRANGEMENTS. 9.1 The parties recognise the importance of flexible work arrangements and family friendly work practices in maintaining a diverse, adaptive and high performing workforce.

RIGHT TO REQUEST FLEXIBLE WORK ARRANGEMENTS. If you have been granted parental leave in accordance with this Agreement, you can request to return from a period of full time maternity, adoption or other parent leave on a part-time or other flexible work arrangement until the child reaches school age.
