Paid Parental Leave Guide Updates - 2012

Paid Parental Leave Guide Updates - 29 November 2012 (v1.15)

The Keyword Index and the Act Section Index have been updated to reflect the restructured Paid Parental Leave Guide released on 2 October 2012. The Guide was restructured and renumbered due to the addition of information about dad and partner pay (DAPP), and the revision of existing content on parental leave pay (PLP).

DAPP will be available to eligible working dads or partners who care for a child born or adopted from 1 January 2013. DAPP will provide eligible working dads or partners (including adopting parents and same-sex couples) with 2 weeks of Government-funded DAPP at the rate of the National Minimum Wage (currently around $606 per week before tax).
