Hi All,

My baby is due on the 11th July 2009. Recent information on the news about the Federal Govt introducing 'paid mat leave' in as early as July 2009 has interested me.

Does anyone else have any information about exactly when this will happen or is it going to be fazed in?

If it is to be introduced straight away then i will take me annual leave first from the 1st July and start maternity leave 4 weeks after that so that I dont miss out on getting the payments.

Kel
