Bringing home a new baby is exciting—but there’s also a lot to organise. In this episode of the Services Australia podcast, we explain how Parental Leave Pay can help eligible parents and carers take time off work to care for their newest family member.

Hear practical advice on:

• Who can get Parental Leave Pay and how much you may receive

• The changes to the scheme, including more weeks of paid leave and superannuation

• How both parents can access the payment

• When to claim and why applying early can make things easier

• Flexible ways to use Parental Leave Pay alongside employer-funded leave

Plus, we bust some common myths, share practical tips to help you prepare before your baby arrives, and explain where to find more information about payments and services available for growing families.
