(2)
The objects of the paid parental leave scheme are to:

signal that taking time out of the paid workforce to care for a child is part of the usual course of life and work for both parents; and
(b)
promote equality between men and women and balance between work and family life; and

The financial support provided by this Act is intended to complement and supplement existing entitlements to paid or unpaid leave in connection with the birth or adoption of a child.

Division 2Guide to this Act4Guide to this Act

Overview
This Act provides for the payment of parental leave pay following the birth of a child or, for adoption, the placement of a child.
Parental leave pay is payable to a person for a child for a flexible PPL day for the child. The number of flexible PPL days for the child for which parental leave pay can be paid is limited.
Parental leave pay is paid in instalments at the daily national minimum wage amount for a day that is a flexible PPL day for the child and for which parental leave pay is payable to the person.
Parental leave pay is paid by either the person’s employer (if it is for at least 40 consecutive flexible PPL days for a child that are week days) or the Secretary.
Chapter 2—When parental leave pay is payable to a person
Chapter 2 sets out when parental leave pay is payable to a person. The key provisions for the Chapter are found in Part 2‑1.
A person can only be paid parental leave pay if the Secretary makes a determination that parental leave pay is payable to the person. Part 2‑2 has the rules about when the Secretary can make that determination.
The Secretary cannot make that determination if the person is not eligible for parental leave pay. Part 2‑3 has the rules about eligibility.
The Secretary also cannot make that determination if the person has not made a claim for parental leave pay. Part 2‑4 has the rules about claims.
There are 2 types of claims: PPL claims and special PPL claims. These claims relate to each other, although PPL claims are the main type of claim. PPL claims will often be the only claims that are made.
Chapter 3—Payment of parental leave pay
Chapter 3 sets out how parental leave pay is paid to a person.
Part 3‑1 is about instalments of parental leave pay. It deals with when instalments must be paid, whether the person’s employer or the Secretary must pay them and the amount of the instalments.
Part 3‑2 sets out when a person’s employer must pay instalments to the person. An employer is required to pay an instalment to a person in relation to a child if:
(a)
an employer determination has come into force for the employer and the person; and
(b)
the instalment is payable in relation to a flexible PPL day for the child that falls within the person’s continuous flexible period for the child (which consists of at least 40 consecutive flexible PPL days for the child that are week days); and
(c)
the employer has been paid enough by the Secretary to fund the instalment.
Part 3‑3 sets out when the Secretary must pay instalments directly to the person. For instance, the Secretary is required to do that if an employer determination is never made for the person (e.g. the person is a contractor and so does not have an employer). There are some other circumstances in which the Secretary is also required to pay instalments directly to the person (such as when an employer determination is being reviewed or has been revoked).
Part 3‑4 has general rules about the payment of instalments (such as what happens when an instalment cannot be paid on the day specified in this Act).
Part 3‑5 is about employer determinations. If an employer determination is in force for an employer and a person, the employer must pay instalments to the person. The Secretary must be satisfied that certain conditions have been met before the Secretary can make an employer determination.
Chapter 3A—PPL superannuation contributions
A PPL superannuation contribution is payable for a person for an income year if one or more PPL funding amounts or instalments relating to the person are paid by the Secretary in the income year.
The amount of a PPL superannuation contribution is calculated on the basis of the SG charge percentage for the income year and is generally paid by the Commissioner of Taxation in the subsequent income year to a complying superannuation fund for the person.
The Commissioner of Taxation has the general administration of Chapter 3A.
Chapter 4—Compliance and enforcement
Chapter 4 deals with compliance and enforcement.
Part 4‑1 allows the Secretary to gather information for the purposes of checking compliance with this Act. It also deals with the confidentiality of personal and protected information.
Part 4‑2 deals with other compliance matters. It allows the Secretary to refer matters to the Fair Work Ombudsman for investigation if the Secretary has reason to believe that an employer has not complied with certain obligations under this Act. It also deals with civil penalty provisions, compliance notices and infringement notices.
Part 4‑3 provides for debts in relation to the paid parental leave scheme, and for the recovery of debts owing to the Commonwealth.
Chapter 5—Administrative review of decisions
Chapter 5 is about administrative review of decisions made under this Act.
Part 5‑1 allows the Secretary, on the Secretary’s own initiative, to conduct an internal review of decisions made under this Act. It also allows a person whose interests are affected by certain types of decisions to seek internal review of those decisions, and an employer to seek internal review of certain types of decisions that affect employers.
Part 5‑2 allows a person to apply to the Administrative Review Tribunal (ART) for review of certain decisions made under this Act. This review is called ART review.
If a decision has been reviewed by the ART, in some circumstances the ART Act allows a person to apply to refer the matter to the ART as constituted by the guidance and appeals panel for further review.
In other circumstances, application may be made for review (a “second review”) of the decision by the ART on ART review. Applications for second review are made under the ART Act.
Part 5‑4 has miscellaneous provisions relating to reviews of decisions made under this Act.
Chapter 6—Miscellaneous
Chapter 6 has miscellaneous provisions.
Part 6‑1 has rules that modify this Act so that it applies correctly in 3 limited kinds of cases—adoption, claims made in exceptional circumstances etc. and Commonwealth employment.
Part 6‑2 is about payment nominees (who are people who can receive payments of instalments of parental leave pay on behalf of other people for the purposes of this Act) and correspondence nominees (who are people who can receive notices on behalf of other people for the purposes of this Act).
Part 6‑3 deals with other miscellaneous matters, such as the PPL rules, delegations and regulations.

an effective special PPL claim for parental leave pay for that day (in which case the person is a special PPL claimant).
Note: See Part 2‑4 for the rules about how to make an effective claim.

11DFlexible PPL day

A day is a flexible PPL day for a child if the day occurs in the period that:
(a)
starts on the day the child is born; and
(b)
ends on the day before the child’s second birthday.

Part 2‑2Determinations about whether parental leave pay is payable to a personDivision 1Guide to this Part12Guide to this Part

This Part is about the Secretary making determinations about whether parental leave pay is payable to a person. These determinations are payability determinations. A person cannot be paid parental leave pay unless there is a payability determination that parental leave pay is payable to the person.
Division 2 has the rules that apply to the Secretary when making a payability determination in relation to whether parental leave pay is payable to a person for a flexible PPL day for a child. Different rules apply depending on whether the claim is a PPL claim or a special PPL claim. The Secretary may only make a determination that parental leave pay is payable to certain PPL claimants and special PPL claimants for one or more flexible PPL days if permission has been given to claim those days.
Division 3 has restrictions that apply in particular circumstances to prevent the Secretary from making a payability determination that parental leave pay is payable to a person (for example, where the child’s birth has not been verified or where the limit on the number of flexible PPL days for which parental leave pay is payable to more than one person has been exceeded).
Division 4 has general rules that apply to payability determinations (for example, if the Secretary makes a determination, the Secretary must give a notice of it to the claimant).
Division 5 deals with initial eligibility determinations. These determinations can be made by the Secretary before the Secretary makes a payability determination. The Secretary can make an initial eligibility determination if the Secretary is satisfied that the person satisfies, or will satisfy, particular eligibility criteria. If the Secretary makes a determination, the Secretary must give a notice of it to the claimant.

Part 2‑3Eligibility for parental leave payDivision 1Guide to this Part30Guide to this Part

This Part sets out when a person is eligible for parental leave pay. The Secretary cannot make a payability determination that parental leave pay is payable if the person is not eligible for it.
Division 2 sets out when a person is eligible for parental leave pay. Section 31AA sets out when a person is eligible for parental leave pay on a flexible PPL day for a child. Sections 31AB and 31ABA set out the maximum number of flexible PPL days for a child for which parental leave pay can be paid. This includes, subject to certain exceptions, the flexible PPL days that are reserved for other claimants where a claimant has a partner at the time of their first effective claim.
Division 3 has the work test. To satisfy the work test, a person must have performed enough paid work or taken enough paid leave in a particular period. A flexible PPL day for a previous child for which parental leave pay was payable to the person may be taken into account in working out whether the person satisfies the work test for a subsequent child. Any jobkeeper payment period or COVID‑19 Australian Government payment period for the person may also be taken into account. Special rules apply in the case of premature birth or complications or illness related to the pregnancy (see section 36A) or in special circumstances (see section 36AA).
Division 4 has the income test. To satisfy the income test, the person’s income for a particular income year must not be more than either the individual PPL income limit (which is $150,000 until 30 June 2021 and then indexed) or the family PPL income limit (which is $350,000 until 30 June 2024 and then indexed). If the person has a partner, their partner’s income is also counted towards the family PPL income limit.
Division 5 has the Australian residency test. To satisfy this test, the person must be an Australian resident or be in a special class of visa holder.
Division 6 sets out when a person is caring for a child.

Method statement
Step 1. Work out the person’s work test period.

Note:
Work test period is defined in sections 33 and 33A for PPL claimants and special PPL claimants.
Step 2. Work out the days in the work test period on which the person has and has not performed qualifying work.
Note:
Qualifying work is defined in section 34.
Step 3. Work out whether any days on which the person has not performed qualifying work during the work test period fall within a permissible break.
Note:
Permissible break is defined in section 36.
Step 4. Work out whether there is a period (a qualifying period) of 295 consecutive days in the work test period that are days:
(a)
on which the person has performed qualifying work; or
(b)
that fall within a permissible break.
Step 5. If the person has performed at least 330 hours of qualifying work in a qualifying period, the person satisfies the work test.

Note 1: A person may also satisfy the work test despite not satisfying the test in step 5, if:
(a) the child was born prematurely; or
(b) while the person was pregnant with the child, the person had complications or illness related to the pregnancy which prevented the person from performing paid work.
See section 36A.
Note 1A: A person may also satisfy the work test in special circumstances: see section 36AA.
Note 3: If the person performs qualifying work on a day because of paragraph (c) or (d) of the definition of qualifying work in subsection 34(1), and does not also perform qualifying work on that day because of paragraph (e) or (f) of that definition, see section 35A to work out the hours of qualifying work the person is taken to have performed on the day.
Note 4: If the person performs qualifying work on a day because of paragraph (e) of the definition of qualifying work in subsection 34(1), the number of hours of qualifying work the person is taken to have performed on that day is determined in accordance with the PPL rules (see section 35B).
Note 5: If the person performs qualifying work on a day because of paragraph (f) of the definition of qualifying work in subsection 34(1), the number of hours of qualifying work the person is taken to have performed on that day is determined in accordance with the PPL rules (see section 35C).

This section applies in relation to a PPL claimant or special PPL claimant who is not a COVID‑19 affected claimant in relation to a claim for parental leave pay for a child.
(1B)
If a provision of this Act or the PPL rules requires a person (the first person) to satisfy the work test on a day for the purposes of a PPL claim or special PPL claim made by another person, this section applies as if a reference to a PPL claimant or special PPL claimant were a reference to the first person.

Endnote 5Editorial changes

In preparing this compilation for registration, the following kinds of editorial change(s) were made under the Legislation Act 2003.

Subsection 224(1A)

Kind of editorial change

Correct a typographical error

Details of editorial change

Schedule 3 item 118 of the Administrative Review Tribunal (Consequential and Transitional Provisions No. 1) Act 2024 provides as follows:

118

After subsection 224(1)

Insert:
(1A)
If a guidance and appeals panel application is taken to have been made because the ART’s decision on review of an AAT reviewable employer decision is referred to the guidance and appeals panel, review of the decision to which that application relates is also an ART review.

Subsection 224(1A) refers to “AAT reviewable employer decision” rather than “ART reviewable employer decision”.

This compilation was editorially changed to omit “AAT reviewable employer decision” and substitute “ART reviewable employer decision” in subsection 224(1A) to correct the typographical error.
