You must have lived in Australia for two years before the child's birth or adoption. Time spent overseas is excluded from this period.
Hank Jongen says that parental leave pay can be shared by two parents if both are eligible: “The payment is designed in such a way that it accommodates different family arrangements. So you can claim if you're the birth mother's partner, the child's biological father, or the partner of the child's biological father. But it's important to understand that the birth mother must agree to those arrangements and must approve any payments that are going to either the partner or other relevant family members.”

Dr Adele Murdolo, CEO of the Multicultural Centre for Women's Health, highlights the broader societal and economic benefits of paid parental leave.
“It contributes so much to our community, just not taking some pressure off women themselves when they're parenting and other parents when they're parenting, but also contributing so much to the care of children,” she explains.
“There’s a lot of research that shows the economic benefits of paid parental leave schemes, but there are also a whole host of social benefits for the community of having happy and healthy parents, and happy and healthy children.”
Dr Murdolo emphasises the need for equity in access to parental leave schemes: “Not everybody is entitled to it, so people do need to investigate further to find out whether they're actually eligible for the schemes."
