Am I eligible?
You may be eligible for Parental Leave Pay if you:
- are the primary carer of a newborn child or the initial primary carer of a recently adopted child
- are an Australian resident[1]
- have met the Paid Parental Leave scheme work test before the birth or adoption occurs,
- have received an individual adjusted taxable income[2] of $150,000 or less in the previous financial year, and
- are on leave or not working from the time you become the child’s primary carer.
The birth mother or the initial primary carer of an adopted child must make the claim for Parental Leave Pay, unless there are exceptional circumstances. |
