COVID-19 response workers - Department’s discretion in relation to this Part

30JR: Department’s discretion about irregular applications

You could also call this:

"The Department can decide on unusual parental leave requests"

The Department has the power to make decisions about applications that don't follow the usual rules. This means they can choose what to do if someone applies for parental leave in a way that's different from normal. However, this rule will no longer be in use after 20 January 2025.
