Our New & Enhanced Maternity and Paternity Packages

The families that make up our Teams are an integral part of our company. This is why we're delighted to have introduced enhanced maternity and paternity packages. Under our new policy, all Team Members who have worked at Fazenda for five years or more will receive 39 weeks of maternity leave at full pay. Those with twelve months or more will receive 6 weeks of full pay followed by 33 weeks of half pay.

In addition we now offer 2 weeks of full paternity pay for Team Members with two or more years of service and 2 additional weeks of full pay for those who have worked with us for five years or more.

Earlier this year we introduced Private Healthcare for all our Team Members, covered by us, so they can focus on their health and wellbeing and access care quickly whenever they need without having to worry about wait times or access.

Historically, we've never been one to shout about what we do for our team. We believe in offering a variety of benefits because it's the right thing to do. However, we feel maybe it's time to not only champion our business as a great place to work, but the industry as a whole.

For years, our industry has struggled with a bad reputation as a choice of career. We want to help break down these barriers and help change the narrative. Although our maternity package is a very generous one and one of the most competitive ones in our industry, we're aware that this is just a small step in the right direction.
