ROUNDTABLE: Mat Leave, Money Fears & the Financial Survival Guide for New Parents

Having a baby is life-changing, but so is the financial shock that comes with it. In this candid roundtable with personal finance expert Kate Browne from Compare Club and Gidget Psychologist Alicia Moss, we tackle the money fears no one warns you about, from navigating paid parental leave (without missing superannuation) to surviving the cost-of-living crisis with a newborn. We discuss the hidden expenses that blindside even the most prepared parents, including the real cost of raising a child and why that terrifying ‘$1 million’ figure isn’t the full story.  Gidget Foundation Australia has created a series of books called ‘Bunny Books’ to reach out to those that may be suffering.
