Employees become entitled to annual holidays, public holidays, sick leave, bereavement leave, parental leave and other types of leave as long as they meet certain conditions. If you take time off work to start caring for a new baby or child under 6, you may qualify for paid parental leave. As well as maternity and paternity leave, there are other leave options for eligible parents and carers.
You may be able to get parental leave payments from the government. Find out about maternity care, getting a midwife, parental leave, antenatal classes, health tests and parenting support.
