Parents & Caregivers at Deloitte

Here at Deloitte, we know that families come in all different shapes and sizes. As one of the first companies in Australia to be certified as a Family Inclusive Workplace, we're proud of our family-friendly culture and how we support and empower our people at each stage of their caring responsibilities.

From family planning, parental leave, returning to work, families with school-aged children and caring for others, we're here every step of the way to help make things a little easier. Learn more about our Deloitte Families flexible working options here.

We know that whether you are a parent (including birth, adoptive, surrogate, foster and same-sex parents), spouse, carer or friend, family is important to each of us.

With that in mind, we aim to provide parents and individuals who have caring responsibilities a range of flexibility and choice in how you care for your family.

No more maternity, paternity, primary or secondary carer labels.

Our award-winning* Parental Leave is available to everyone.

Parental Leave

Our policy is inclusive of all types of families including birth, adoptive, surrogate, foster and same-sex parents. We encourage all parents, regardless of gender, to take an active role in the caring responsibilities for their families.

Continuing superannuation payments during unpaid parental leave for up to 34 weeks
Extended time to take parental leave, with the option to spread their parental leave over 36 months and take it flexibly
Co-parenting - both parents may access paid and unpaid parental leave at the same time, or at different times
Everyone has access to external coaching to help with their transition back into the workplace, and opportunity to join Deloitte Parents Network
