dads

One sliver of silver lining from this pandemic is that dads are home more than ever. It’s an opportunity to hit reset on the division of domestic duties.

“I’ve got to the point in my life where I’ve got two young boys [and] I want to be there for them,” Richard Di Natale said when announcing his resignation.

When Renee Hancock’s husband applied for parental leave, the response from HR was that the company’s policy was for women.

Young dads are more aware than ever that family friendly workplaces matter. But unlike women, they’re failing to consider this ahead of time.

A recent report commissioned by HR services and recruitment company, Randstad, reveals that Australians want better parental leave policies for fathers.

Deloitte and QBE have each announced changes to their paid parental leave programs specifically designed to ensure men and women share the care.

If the assumption that it is always mum, not dad, that does the parenting isn’t challenged or questioned it will never change.

For the first time in Australian history business leaders converged to fix the spotlight on fatherhood & how employers can help support men as carers.

With little fanfare, Liana Leach at The ANU, and Amanda Cooklin at La Trobe University, co-hosted a one-day forum in Canberra on the role of fathers.
