Paid Parental Leave and doin' it for the kids

View descriptionShare

The recent budget handed down by Labor treasurer Jim Chalmers delivered a huge win for families all across Australia with the extension of Paid Parental Leave to 26 weeks, and more affordable early childhood education and care.

Like all ground-breaking change, it didn't happen by accident.

Unions and their allies have been campaigning tirelessly for over a decade to revamp Paid Parental Leave, better and affordable early childhood education, and the status of workers in the sector.

Georgie Dent has been at the forefront of these campaigns.

Georgie is Executive Director at The Parenthood, and has been central to the campaign for change.

She joins us on this week's podcast.
