Our Government knows that the cost of early-childhood education is a major burden on parents.

That’s why we’ve announced a 15% pay rise for workers at preschools that agree to a 4.4% fee increase cap.

This is great news for both early childhood educators, who deserve fair compensation for their vital work, and for parents, who will benefit from more affordable childcare. We’re committed to supporting families and ensuring that every child has access to quality early education.
