adminThe government will run a series of trials in partnership with industry, business and child care operators to provide more flexible child care hours as part of an 11 million Australian dollars package to increase the flexibility and accessibility of child care.
“We know modern families want more flexible approaches to child care to meet their family’s needs, and to be able to rely on quality, affordable, accessible child care,” Ellis said.
“Our government is responding to the needs of modern families by investing more than 4 million Australian dollars to trial new models of flexible child care that better meet the needs of modern families and particularly shift workers.”
This builds on the government’s record US$23,7 billion investment into the ministry. – Xinhua.
