How Parents Can Help

Miracle Babies Foundation continue to advocate for families to call on the Australian Government to provide additional Paid Parental Leave entitlements during the critical care period when a baby born premature or critically ill spends a significant time in hospital.   Australian Government employees are entitled to Paid premature birth leave, which is available from the date of birth to what would have been 37 weeks gestation.  We call on the Australian Government to make this available for all families across Australia.

Help us advocate for improvements to the Australian Government Paid Parental Leave (PPL) Legislation for parents of premature and sick babies.
