By the time your baby is due in October, will you have completed 12 months continusous service? Is so, it is likely you will be entitled to maternity leave.
In terms of maternity pay, there is no maternity pay provision in Australia as such, it veries between employer to employer. Under current legislation, employers are not obligated to pay you anything at all whilst you are on maternity leave.
As always, it is best to check with your employer. Do you have a copy of your original contract of employment? Usually maternity leave provisons are detailed within that.
