in sydney, not every working mum got paid leave, i do not get any as i work in private company, that mean u can have maternity leave for up to 1 year, but there is no money from your company, only if u use your holiday paid.
Hi there, I'm from Sydney, Australia and gave birth to my daughter there. I would like to clarify that you can buy milk powder in any supermarkets/pharmacies without a doctor certificate. Doctors and midwives here strongly encourage mums to breastfeed, and there are many facilities for breastfeeding mums/parents, e.g. nursing/parent rooms in shopping centres with bottle warmer, microwaves, private feeding rooms, etc. Also larger parking space for parents with scrollers.
There is a baby bonus for each newborn baby (I think it is AU$4000 now). The more babies you give birth to, the more $$ you get from the government!
In Sydney, you are entitled to 2 months paid maternity leave (my company paid 3 months) and you can take up to 1 year leave.
When I returned to work after taking 8 months off, I was working part-time 3 days a week. That's great as I can get work/family balance.
same in Japan, 1 yr maternity leave.
In fact many countries have this policy.
In Europe, the new mum can ask for 4 or 3 days work in office and the remaining hours work at home.
Ai, when HK will have some breakthrough???
