I should say at some point that these are issues that I have had to deal with myself in the last couple of months. Currently, families receiving child-care benefit receive 24 hours of child care without an activity test. Therefore, they would be able to receive both paid parental leave and child-care benefits at the same time. Under the government's proposed child-care package, which is yet to be progressed through the Senate, an activity test would apply, but if you are working or on leave this would qualify as meeting the activity test.
