Locks for all government breastfeeding rooms

ALL breastfeeding rooms across 37 public sector buildings in Canberra will be fitted with secure privacy latches.

“The government has confirmed that there are only 27 breastfeeding rooms with locks across 37 public sector buildings. Work requests have been made for three locks to be fitted and another seven requests need to be actioned,” says Guilia Jones, the opposition shadow minister for women.

“All mothers have the right to be able to feed their babies in a safe and secure environment in the work place.

“These practical changes will assist in achieving greater female participation in the workforce, and I thank the ACT government for taking this request seriously.”
