The Australian Childcare Alliance has welcomed the Australian Labor Party's proposal to increase investment in Australian families by increasing the (Commonwealth's Child Care) subsidy rate to 90%, and we called on all parties to fully embrace the evidence-based recommendations of the recent KPMG report. (You can read the ACA National's media release here.)

However, we’d like to see both major parties commit to relaxing the Activity Test to provide all families with two days a week of early learning. This would greatly benefit our most vulnerable children, and we have been heavily engaging with the Federal Government on this point.
