Superannuation for Parental Leave Pay

Published: 2 June 2025

Families with a child born or adopted from 1 July 2025 will get a superannuation contribution on their Parental Leave Pay.

If you’re eligible for Parental Leave Pay, the Australian Taxation Office will pay a 12% superannuation contribution directly to your super fund. This is known as the Paid Parental Leave Superannuation Contribution (PPLSC).

If you share your Parental Leave Pay, each parent will get a PPLSC based on how many days they use.

The PPLSC will be paid automatically after the relevant financial year ends, starting from July 2026.

Find out more about the new PPLSC.
