It’s time to pay super on parental leave
Mums shouldn’t be left behind
Mums miss out on millions of super each year. Just for having a baby.
While most types of paid leave include super, parental leave doesn’t - meaning mums are being left behind.
Women retire with about a third less super than men, and taking time out of the workforce to raise a family is a key driver of the gender super gap.
Without action, the gender super gap will exist for decades to come with generations of women at risk of retiring into poverty.
Mums protect our future. It’s time we protected theirs.
