From 1 July 2025, paid parental leave increases from 110 to 120 days (around 24 weeks). The leave is flexible and can be used until the child turns two. The government is working towards a 26-week entitlement by 2026.
Plan ahead for longer leave coverage and consider how this may affect resourcing on your sites.
