The Australian Government is planning to introduce a Paid Parental Leave (PPL) scheme as announced in the 2009/10 Federal Budget.
The proposed scheme will be made available for eligible working parents who are primary carers of children that have been born or adopted on or after 1 January 2011.
Legislation for the scheme is expected to be passed in June 2010.
