New study into unpaid carers’ leave

New study into unpaid carers’ leave

The Morrison government has directed the Productivity Commission to undertake an inquiry into the potential impact of providing all employees unpaid carers’ leave when caring for senior Australians living at home.

The study will also examine employment models across the aged care sector.

The inquiry is in response to recommendations made by the royal commission into aged care quality and safety in its final report.
