The number of Australian children in child care has grown by almost 90,000 in just 12 months, according to new figures released today, backing the need for a more affordable, flexible and accessible child care system.
It has never been more important for Australians to have their say about how child care can be made more affordable, flexible and accessible, according to Federal Assistant Minister for Education Sussan Ley.
Assistant Minister for Education Sussan Ley said in less than two weeks, over 2850 services had applied for the Government’s Long Day Care Professional Development Programme (LDCPDP) – the largest investment of its kind.
