Paid Parental Leave - Success At last!

“It has been a long time coming but yesterday was a historic day for parents and the Australian community as the Paid Parental Leave scheme was passed by both houses of Federal Parliament.” stated ASU Women’s Officer Maria Kaplanis. ”A campaign which has lasted 30 years will now bring Australia in line with other countries across the world who have enjoyed this benefit for years.”  Congratulations to ASU members who have campaigned to achieve this benefit.
