Recommendation 20

Our paid parental leave system provides comparatively very poorly for parents of multiple births, who face unique financial, practical and emotional impacts in caring for their babies and young children and juggling work commitments. The Government’s review must consider options to mitigate these impacts through additional financial support. It should draw on lessons from overseas systems, including in Sweden, France and Spain, which provide extra paid leave for multiple births.
