"Reproductive health can affect every body, at every stage of their working life"
REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH LEAVE - IT'S FOR EVERY BODY!
It’s for Every Body is a campaign led by Australian unions to win paid reproductive health leave for all working Australians.
Everybody, at every stage of their working life, may need time to address symptoms and issues arising from their reproductive health, such as menstruation, endometriosis, menopause, fertility, and prostate treatment, to name a few.
It’s time all workers across Australia have access to ten days of paid leave to manage their reproductive health. Paid leave will help address the gender pay gap, reduce reproductive health stigmas, support workers’ health and wellbeing and create more inclusive workplaces.
Join the campaign calling for reproductive health leave to be added to the National Employment Standards.

@aus.unions Workers shouldn’t have to choose between their health and their job. That’s why union members like Sophie are fighting for 10 days of universal paid reproductive health leave to give all workers the time and flexibility they need. Whether it’s dealing with endometriosis, fertility treatments, menopause, or prostate screenings – reproductive health impacts us all. Union members have already won reproductive health leave in industries like healthcare and education, but they won’t stop until it’s a right for every worker across Australia. No one should have to show up to work in pain or face discrimination because of their health. It’s time to make this leave a national standard. It’s for every body – and it’s time to break the stigma. #ReproductiveLeave #ItsForEveryBody #UnionWins #WorkersRights #PaidLeave #WomensRights ♬ original sound – Aus Unions
