What are my rights as a working parent? My boss is very supportive but the rest of my superiors don't understand that sometimes I need to put my child before work. After something that happened today I would like to educate myself on what rights I actually have. Can someone please point me in the right direction? I've tried some researching but I feel like I'm going around in circles and not get much information.
Thank you

Have you tried fair work australia?
Hi,
I did try there but I felt like I was going around in circles clicking on all the links. It was like page 1, page 2, page 3 and back to page 1 again. I'm sure there is info on there, I just can't find it :(
Make a list of questions and call fair work Australia. They are very helpful.
I'm a HR Officer and I have teenage children as well as a 2 year old. It will all depend on the age of your children, what state you live in and what rights you are talking about...for example discrimination, leave entitlements or flexible working arrangements (ie hours of work). I am more than happy to chat if you'd like to message me....have had to deal with Fair Work and their website quite a lot! There have been a lot of changes to parental rights and responsibilities over the last 18 months and it can be confusing if you don't know where to look.
