Welcome to Parents on Leave™

I'm an Employer

Support talented individuals during their parental leave and upon their return to work.

I'm a Parent

Continue your connection to your career during parental leave.

In Australia, more than 100,000 women and men take parental leave annually. Conceived and developed by two leading senior global talent executives, Parents on Leave™ is a unique Program, designed to support a seamless career connection for professionals taking parental leave.

Some companies work hard at remaining connected and supportive of those on parental leave, and ‘parent groups’ are prolific in the community; but much of the support available for new parents relates to ‘adjusting to parenthood’ and ‘juggling parenthood and career’, rather than ongoing career engagement and management.

Parents on Leave™ has identified a clear need for a program specifically focused on providing an intellectually stimulating, confidence-building ‘career bridge’ for those on parental leave; to help assure a confident, purposeful re-entry into the workplace when the time comes.
