#uspol #parenting #ChildcareCosts

The support with childcare costs for those on Universal Credit at least used to be on the basis of you have to pay for the childcare and claim a share of it back. If that is still the case you still need to be able to afford to pay the fees up front and only get paid back for a percentage of it in about a month's time.

Australian families are paying 80% more for childcare than their global counterparts, reveals a report by the ACCC. It's time to reevaluate our policies for a fairer distribution of services and affordability. Let's make quality childcare accessible for all! #ChildcareCosts #ACCCReport #EconomicEquality https://thepost.au/2023/10/01/aussie-childcare-costs-soar-accc/
