[Explanatory information - please delete once you have finished this template] You can take part of your 12 months of unpaid parental leave flexibly. This section must be filled in and provided to your employer if you choose to do so. The amount of parental leave that can be taken as flexible parental leave depends on when your child is born or placed for adoption. Find out how much leave you might be entitled to at fairwork.gov.au/parentalleave. If you are also taking continuous parental leave, you must provide written notice to your employer that you want to take flexible parental leave at the same time as you give notice of your continuous parental leave. The total amount of flexible and continuous leave can't be more than 12 months unless your employer agrees to extending your leave. If you are only taking flexible parental leave, you must provide written notice to your employer at least 10 weeks before the start of the flexible parental leave. The notice may be given at a later time if your employer agrees. You must also give at least 4 weeks notice of the specific flexible parental leave days you're taking (if any). You can provide notice at a later time if your employer agrees.
