Services Australia General Manager Hank Jongen and colleague and mum of two discuss the Child Care Subsidy.
The Federal Education Minister has announced that the Child Care Subsidy system will be back on Monday July 13, along with a number of other new measures. From the Government's perspective, the economy is getting back to normal, and the early education sector is first cab off the rank for “snapping back”. But the Government's planned transition is complex and will require an already-strained sector to once again adjust to significant changes. What does this all mean for children, educators and families? Find the full shownotes at earlyeducationshow.com.
Australia's early education sector has been given a huge shake-up during the COVID-19 outbreak. The Child Care Subsidy system was replaced with a Government Relief Package that provided centres with 50% direct Government funding, and eliminated the usual gap fee paid by parents. In effect, children are now getting their early education for free. But the current funding system is short term and doesn't fit all centres. This episode, we're going to ask the question - how do we advocate for properly-funded, permanent, universal and free early education after COVID-19?

“As of Sunday night, What we will be doing is turning off the old system and going to a new system.” Those were the words of the Federal Education Minister Dan Tehan earlier today, as he stood next to the Prime Minister Scott Morrison and announced wholesale and immediate changes to how Australia funds early education. It's hard to underestimate what this will mean, but what we know is the sector has four days notice that the Child Care Subsidy system - which took over nearly 3 years to develop and legislate - will be gone, and a new system of direct Government funding of services will be in place on Monday. And the Conservative Prime Minister of this country stated that ECEC will be free. Lisa, Leanne and Liam try to wrap their heads around what this announcement means for the sector.
