Yeah, this is why in many countries, Australia included, part of parental leave is paid by the state (it's at minimum wage, which isn't super high, but much higher than other countrie), and the company isn't required to pay anything extra (but must let you take leave).

Most employers however, are much more generous than this to attract talent.
