Balancing Work and Family inquiry

Leslie to give evidence to The House of Representatives Standing Committee on Family and Human Services "Balancing Work and Family" inquiry

The Committee shall inquire into and report on how the Australian Government can better help families balance their work and family responsibilities. The Committee is particularly interested in:

• the financial, career and social disincentives to starting families;
• making it easier for parents who so wish to return to the paid workforce; and
• the impact of taxation and other matters on families in the choices they make in balancing work and family life.

Leslie's evidence will be at 10:30, Committee Room K, Parliament House, Spring Street, Melbourne on Monday 10 April 2006.
