Driving down cost of child care in Mitchell

Federal Member for Mitchell, the Hon Alex Hawke MP, said the Morrison Government’s reforms to child care were driving down out-of-pocket costs for parents in Mitchell.

Alex Hawke said since our Government’s Child Care Subsidy was introduced on 2 July 2018, out-of-pocket child care costs for families had reduced by 10.4 per cent.

“The Morrison Government is providing record funding and greater support to families in Mitchell as part of its new Child Care Package, including the Child Care Subsidy,” Alex Hawke said.

“Our Government’s Child Care Subsidy ensures families in Mitchell earning the least and working the most are supported to access the child care they need.

“Since the introduction of our Government’s new Child Care Subsidy on 2 July 2018, we have seen the largest quarterly fall in child care prices in a decade.

“The Morrison Government’s child care reforms are leaving more dollars in the pockets of families, which we can afford to do because we’re keeping our economy strong.
