Parental Leave Pay is a flexible payment that can be shared between parents.
You can take your Parental Leave Pay days in a way that works for you. If you have a partner, there are a number of days reserved for them to use.
You can take your Parental Leave Pay days as any of the following:
- a single block
- multiple smaller blocks
- single days
- smaller blocks combined with single days.
You can choose how to take your payment. Learn about how you can share your payment.
If you’ve already submitted your claim, you can change your nominated days.
If you share your Parental Leave Pay days with someone else, you can take up to 10 days at the same time. There are some exemptions that apply to this limit.
