Parental Leave and Employment Protection (Shared Leave) Amendment Bill

Member's Bill
Published date: 02 Oct 2023

Bills are proposals to make a new law or to change an existing one. Only Parliament can pass a bill. Each bill goes through several stages, giving MPs and the public the chance to have their say.

This bill ensures that paid parental leave can be split between spouses or partners who are carers of the child and taken at the same time, provided the total paid parental leave doesn’t exceed the maximum provided for a single primary carer.
