The Productivity Commission's draft inquiry report, Paid Parental Leave: Support for Parents with Newborn Children, was released on 29 September 2008. The Commission will be accepting public submissions on the draft report until 14 November 2008.
The National Foundation for Australian Women (NFAW) with Security for Women (S4W) and the support of the Commonwealth Office for Women, is holding consultations in each State and Territory during October and early November.
The objective of the consultations is to encourage women to respond to the draft report by making their own submissions.
Information on the NFAW consultations is available on The National Foundation for Australian Women website
