Barristers with family responsibilities
Ensuring that those with family and caring responsibilities can fully participate in life and work at the Bar is fundamental to the Victorian Bar.
Taking Parental Leave
The Victorian Bar Council has a Parental Leave Policy to assist those taking leave to care for children by reason of pregnancy or a child coming into their care and custody. Eligible barristers can access a rental subsidy and a discount on Bar subscriptions for a period of up to six months in the case of a single child or cumulative periods of six months in cases concerning the birth or care of multiple children.
