This Part provides for matters relating to claims for parental leave pay.

Under the Act, only certain people can make a PPL claim or special PPL claim for a child. However, in addition to the persons specified in the Act, the Act provides that a person who satisfies circumstances that are prescribed as exceptional circumstances can also make a claim. Division 2 prescribes those exceptional circumstances.

In order for a claim for parental leave pay to be effective, it must be made by the right person and satisfy certain requirements. Division 3 prescribes circumstances in relation to the requirement for claims for one or more flexible PPL days to specify each of those days.
