From today, we’re extending superannuation payments for primary carers in Australia, to cover any unpaid periods of parental leave, during the first 12 months of a child’s life.
Why? Because research shows that 88% of people who take parental leave as a primary carer are women and on average, women retire with around half the superannuation savings of men.
It’s a small step in the right direction, as we continue to champion equality in the workforce.
