“Parenting coordination with Susan Warda and Antonia Marran – a great tool for people who find themselves in a high conflict separation”

One of the primary purposes of parenting co-ordination is to provide parents with education in relation to the impacts of their conflict on their children.

Susan Warda, Partner, and Antonia Marran, Associate and one of Sydney’s leading parenting co-ordinators, sat down with BenchTV to record a presentation on all things parenting co-ordination, including how it differs from the ordinary mediation, therapy and counselling and the challenges that may be faced during the course of parenting co-ordination.

“Minimum entitlements for parents and care givers in respect to leave arrangements, work flexibility requests and other protections”

Mills Oakley Workplace Relations, Employment and Safety partner, Rachael Sutton and Graduate, Aidan Naine recently prepared the below article to provide insight into the minimum entitlements parents and care givers are able to access with respect to leave arrangements and work flexibility, among other protections. 

As a result of recent amendments to federal and state industrial employment related legislation, the rights of employees who are parents and caregivers have been added to substantially and they now have access to a number of entitlements to leave, rights to request flexible working arrangements and protections under the law.
