Maternity Leave Eligibility

Hi Ladies!
I was just wondering, if you run your own business from home (I will be running a registered FDC), are you so entitled to maternity leave (through centrelink)? We will be trying for our third at the end of the year and will struggle greatly if I am ineligible to get it. Just trying to prepare now for what's to come..
Thanks in advance

If you have worked 10 out of the past 13 months (minimum of 330 hours) with a break no longer than 8 weeks between work, you will be eligible for paid parental leave through Centrelink .

Yes provided you have worked the required requirements before finishing work. You have to have your books up to date too
