2024 National Working Families Report
In 2021, Parents At Work partnered with UNICEF Australia to develop and deliver Family Friendly Workplaces as a recommendation resulting from the 2019 National Working Families Survey. A benchmarking and certification for Australian workplaces was developed to meet the world’s best practice National Work + Family Standards.
The Survey was designed to address the following research questions:
- Overall, how are parents and carers feeling about their current work and family juggle?
- What are the key challenges and priorities for parents and carers?
- Are our current workplace policies and practices enough to support families at work?
