2009 CLARE BURTON MEMORIAL LECTURE
A Slow Revolution: maternity leave, women and work
Associate Professor Marian Baird, University of Sydney
Why did it take so long for women in Australia to achieve paid maternity leave and what happens next?
The lecture analyses changes in Australia’s attitudes to working women by examining maternity leave policies from 1979, when the first unpaid maternity leave decision of the Industrial Relations Commission was made, to the government’s announcement of a national system of paid parental leave on Mother’s Day in 2009. From 1 Jan 2010, working parents will also have the right to request an additional 12 months of unpaid parental leave and the right to request flexible working arrangements. These are significant, even revolutionary, policy changes in Australia. What will be the implications of these changes, for employers and for working parents, particularly women?
A public lecture followed by the opportunity to network.
