National review of pregnancy and return to work
National review of pregnancy and return to work
In 2013, the Australian Human Rights Commission undertook a national review into discrimination related to pregnancy, parental leave and return to work after parental leave.
In our submission to the review, we highlight the experiences of our clients who face discrimination during pregnancy and after the birth of their child. In most cases our clients’ stories are told by directly by them in their words, with their permission.
The submission also outlines nine recommendations for reform based on our practice experience and the experiences of our clients.
