nurses in NSW public health

[Mildez]

I am a midwife/RN and work for NSW health. We are entitled to 14weeks paid leave or 28weeks at half pay. I am sure you don't have to return within 12months I think you can take 2yrs of by memory. I only had to work for 42weeks to be entitled to maternity leave not 52weeks so I could have fallen pregnant within the first few months and potentially still be entitled to maternity leave. If you decide not to return after you have had your baby you will not need to pay it back.
