UNSW has achieved Best Practice accreditation as a Breastfeeding Friendly Workplace
UNSW recognises the importance and benefits of breastfeeding, and understands that many parents will return to work while they continue to breastfeed. UNSW also supports parents in the LGBTQIA+ community in breastfeeding, chest feeding and human milk feeding for their babies.
The University is a Best Practice accredited Breastfeeding Friendly Workplace, and UNSW's Breastfeeding Guidelines seek to accommodate the needs of employees within the context of the needs of the University and individual work units.
UNSW is committed to providing employees with flexibility to take lactation breaks during their workday. These can be negotiated between the employee and their manager. Learn more about Flexible Work
