Have your say on childcare
Federal Member for Blair, Shayne Neumann, is urging public engagement with the Productivity Commission’s draft report on universal early childhood education and care.
Titled “A path to universal early childhood education and care”, the report explores creating an affordable, accessible, and high-quality early learning system.
The government’s Cheaper Child Care changes have already reduced costs by around 14 per cent in Blair.
These amendments benefit approximately 1.2 million families nationwide, including 8,900 families in Blair, providing significant cost-of-living relief.
The proposed system aims to offer universal access, with public hearings scheduled for early 2024.
Feedback on the draft report is encouraged by mid-February 2024 via www.pc.gov.au/inquiries/current/childhood/make-submission.
