Should Australian workers get paid reproductive leave by law?
A federal inquiry into Australia's minimum workplace standards is considering whether workers should get paid reproductive leave on top of their existing sick leave. Unions, lawyers and advocates are pushing for at least 10 days of leave to cover things like fertility treatment, menstrual pain, menopause, endometriosis, and even conditions affecting men like prostate cancer screening and vasectomies. But not everyone agrees on the best approach.
