Illness and parental leave
If you fall ill or you are going to have a baby, you will typically be allowed a leave of absence from your PhD study. What your options are, which rules apply and what you must do to ensure all the formalities are in order depends on your situation, particularly on whether or not you are employed at AU.
On this page, you will find resources to help you navigate in your situation. Please start by reading the GSTS Rules and Regulations chapter 7 on extensions, leaves and part-time studies.
