The Federal Government has used Father's Day to announce their paid parental leave scheme for new dads.

The Government had planned to start the scheme in July next year, but announced in the May budget that it would be delayed for six months.

From January 2013, fathers or partners will get cheques paid over two weeks at the national minimum wage of $590 a week to give them time off work to help care for their new babies.

The bonus will be means-tested in the same way regular paid parental leave is assessed and will cut out when the individual earns more than $150,000.

The payment will also be available to adopting parents and parents in same-sex couples who share the role of caring for a child born or adopted from January 1, 2013.

Love the great policy being delivered by the Gillard Labor govt!
