As all families with children agred 0-5 years old would be aware, the Federal Government's new Child Care Subsidy (CCS) has now replaced the previous system (Child Care Benefit and Child Care Rebate) since 2 July 2018.
The new system means some families will be better off with a smaller "out-of-pocket" fee, while others will be worse off, depending on their family income and family activities.
With about 1.2 million Australian children in early learning environments, the new Child Care Subsidy is the most significant change in up to 40 years.
In order for the Australian Childcare Alliance NSW to advocate on behalf of parents and families, we are very interested to find out how families have been affected by the new Child Care Subsidy and report these findings back to the Federal Government, relevant Shadow Ministers and Federal Members of Parliament, with a view that all children count and that all families should have access to a base level of affordable, high quality early learning under the new subsidy system.
We would greatly appreciate your feedback on this very important issue. The survey below should only take you a few minutes to complete and does not require any personal information that reveals your identity.
Thanking you in advance.
