ACA NSW Membership Update

Introduction of "Did you know" briefs

The Australian Childcare Alliance NSW is continually engaging with Federal , State Parliamentary and all political parties.

In the past we have shared parliamentary briefs (see https://nsw.childcarealliance.org.au/resources/parliamentary-briefs). These briefs have helped many ministers in understanding the problems faced by approved providers, to the point that ACA NSW has been invited to debrief the NSW premier, treasurer and planning minister.

The ACA NSW Executive Committee has now introduced a new series called “did you know” briefs. (see https://nsw.childcarealliance.org.au/resources/parliamentary-did-you-know-s). These are broadcast to all members of parliament (including backbenches). These briefs are intended to help all MPs, not just the government or the opposition frontbench, understand the operational risks and challenges faced by all approved providers and how Government policies, no matter how well intentioned they may be, are putting childcare educational outcomes, quality and affordability at risk.
