Paying super on Government Paid Parental Leave: 1 July 2025 start date

 

The Treasurer has announced that the government will pay superannuation on Paid Parental Leave (PPL) from 1 July 2025. Further details of this measure, including cost, will be released in the Budget. It gives more families access to the payment, including a “more generous” $350,000 family income test.

 

This reform builds on the government’s work to “modernise” PPL and expand the payment to a full 6 months by 2026. The expansion to Australia’s Paid Parental Leave Bill, currently before the Senate, will give families an additional six weeks of PPL. If passed, families will have access to an extra two weeks of leave (22 weeks total) from 1 July 2024, which will increase to 24 weeks from July 2025 and 26 weeks from July 2026.
