Universal Paid Maternity Leave - Productivity Commission update -

BPW members will have received an email from me about submissions to the Productivity Commission. Do you know you can just register with the Commission to be kept informed of progress? You can put in your own submission, or send in one from your own club. Complete the online registration of interest form at: http://www.pc.gov.au/registrationforms/parentalleave



The Commission has prompted a series of questions that will create lots of debate at your May meeting. You can access them at: http://www.pc.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0009/78498/personalfeedbackpaper.pdf



With employers competing to both attract and retain staff the pressure is on for items such as PML and Parental Leave to become much more universal. Could well be why major employers such as Myer have already started the ball rolling.



BPW will be putting a submission, and also supporting Security4Women submission, so if you want your thoughts included please add a post to this blog.



Thanks, Sandra
