There are 4.7 million children living in Australia, and many families struggle with financial support.

​

• In early 2020, the Australian government provided a $1.9 billion lifeline to the sector offering free childcare.

​

• However, 3 months later, they removed all childcare providers from the Jobseeker program in July.

​

• This forced most parents who had jobs to pay full price for childcare.
