@kirbypostle: It would have helped if I turned the microphone on. But this is a very very brief overview! Head to the myGov website for more info!! #pregnant #firsttimemum #postpartum #maternityleave #pay
Do you get to choose when the payments start from? Can we delay it if we’re planning to use some mat leave pay from our employer first?

You can still qualify for Parental Leave Pay if you have to stop working before your baby is born due to unforeseen circumstances. There are certain criteria and conditions you need to meet for an exception to the work test. I had to stop working at 25 weeks pregnant and had my baby at 29 weeks, but I was still able to access my Parental Leave Pay because I had a medical letter from my obstetrician confirming that I had to stop working due to my pregnancy complications

Do I need to have been in a consistent job for 10 months before I can get this money? I started a new job just before I fell pregnant so I wouldn’t have been working for 10 months before going on leave….

I just wanted to note that you’ve missed a couple of things that may be relevant to some people. Most notably super is not paid with your government paid parental leave (i.e. payday) and is instead paid at the end of the financial year. Additionally, there are income limits that mean if you’re a higher income earner you’re not eligible (approx. $180k for single parents and $360k for couples).
