What is the impact of extended maternity leave?

Extended maternity leave can have lasting effects on a woman’s career, financial stability, and confidence returning to work—particularly when ongoing health challenges or limited workplace support are involved.

In this Her Body, Her Life, Her Claim mini video, Expert Vocational Rehabilitation witness Maria Morris explores the wider impact extended maternity leave can have on employment outcomes and long-term career progression.

From changes in earning capacity and missed opportunities for advancement, to difficulties re-entering the workplace after prolonged absence, the effects can extend well beyond the maternity period itself. With the right rehabilitation, support, and workplace adjustments, however, better outcomes are possible.

Watch now to understand why vocational rehabilitation plays such an important role in helping women successfully navigate the transition back to work.
