Breastfeeding at Work and Parenting Rooms

We support staff who continue to breastfeed upon their return from parental leave.

The key elements that breastfeeding staff require at work are privacy, time and support.

Mobile Breastfeeding Support Kit

We understand that in some cases our on-site parenting facilities may not meet your requirements to regularly express breast milk in private during work hours.

In discussion with your supervisor, an office or a suitable space can be identified closer to your work area and fitted with the necessary items to support you in breastfeeding/expressing, on a loan basis supported by Buildings and Property Division. The ‘Mobile Breastfeeding Support Kit’ contains an armchair with a footrest, a mini bar fridge to store breast milk and a lockable cabinet to store items such as breast pumps.

Refer to the Process Guide for Breastfeeding Support Kit for further information on how to request a kit.
