meaning, you canto go back to your current job if you want to after you take your benefits. But as far as I know, there seem to be some limitation as of when you can take parental leave, usually, after your wife finish her 15weeks maternity benefit, that is the time people claim parental benefit, I don't know your wife is eligible for that benefit or not, if not, when you can claim your parental benefit, I am not sure. Better check with HRDC first.
