Early childhood education

Mr MAAS: Last week the state government announced that they will give relief to thousands of families by changing the childcare system. From 2023 we will be providing funding for free kinder for three- and four-year-olds, which will save families up to $2500 per year every year. This means more women and families will have more opportunities to return to work and support their household budgets. To help address the shortage of available places, the government will also be building 50 government-owned and operated childcare centres. I am so grateful to be a part of a government that promises to deliver and does that.
