Our national body, the Australian Childcare Alliance, has lodged a comprehensive submission in response to the Child Care Assistance Package Regulation Impact Statement (RIS).  You can read our submission by clicking here. 

The RIS set out the options that were considered in the development of the Child Care Assistance package released in May 2015 (you can access summaries and fact sheets on the key elements of the package by clicking here), and described implementation options to the key components of the package.  The consultation period on the RIS has now ended.

You can access a copy of the 98-page RIS here. It should be noted that this RIS does not cover the Interim Home Based Carer Subsidy Programme (Nanny Trial), as this is subject to a separate consultation process.
