I wish I'd taken parental leave for my first baby
ABC"It's something I will never, ever forget." He split his leave — taking four weeks off when Shiuli was first born, and the remaining 22 weeks when his wife went back to work in October that year after she took the government's 18 weeks of paid parental leave. "We are a fairly large group of technical staff within my department, and I was the first male in our team to actually go on parental leave," he says. Tarun, like so many fathers, chose not to take the government's two week paid parental leave for partners at the national minimum wage. "If we have another child, I would definitely look to take up that opportunity to go on parental leave again, because I think it was just the most wonderful time in my life."
