The qualifying time for the CD has been changed to reflect that this time of leave is no longer 'inactive' time and, of course, they are making maternity combats (which is another issue entirely). I think that the changes have begun, just slowly.
Any type of leave (other than for maternity purposes) is either full pay or a top-up, regardless of time absent. The fact that maternity is only topped for equivalent four months, while the option exists to take a full six months, seems arbitrary.
It is too late for me but I hope that the CF will join the rest of the federal government.
