If you have to provide Parental Leave Pay to your employee, you must register your business or organisation with us online.
Watch our video about registering for the Paid Parental Leave scheme for employers.
Provider Digital Access (PRODA) is an online identity verification and authentication system. It lets you securely access government online services. To access a service on behalf of an organisation you’ll need to register the organisation in PRODA.
If you manage the payroll for many businesses with different Australian Business Numbers (ABNs), you must register each business separately.
If we decide that you must provide Parental Leave Pay to an employee, we’ll send you a letter to let you know. Find out more about how to respond to an Employer Determination letter.
You can also choose to opt in to provide Parental Leave Pay for your employee even if you don’t have to do it. If you want to opt in, you need to do so before your employee submits their claim. Learn more about how to opt-in to provide Parental Leave Pay.
