Family leave policies updated

The University has completed the development of a suite of employment policies related to the provision of time off work for family-related reasons.

The University is committed to supporting employees to achieve a healthy work-life balance.

Our family leave policies help support that by recognising that many employees have family responsibilities, as well as the occasional need to be absent from work to attend to emergencies.

Benefits

The University’s suite of family-related leave policies includes:

  • Maternity Policy
  • Parental Leave Policy
  • Paternity Leave and Pay
  • Adoption and Surrogacy Leave and Pay Policy
  • Time-Off for Dependants

Through these policies, the University provides contractual benefits, which are in some cases over and above the statutory provision for employees.

The University’s Flexible Working Policy is due to be reviewed later this year.
