Pregnant women and parents are still facing high rates of discrimination at work according to the first national review in ten years.
Researchers from the University of South Australia surveyed more than 1 200 participants about their experiences.
Three in five new mothers returning to work said their opinions were often ignored, they felt excluded and they were given unmanageable workloads.
Two in five reported negative or offensive remarks for taking time off work to care for a sick child, while more than one in ten were treated so badly they resigned.
