Future options for child care
The Productivity Commission has released an issues paper to support its inquiry into child care and early childhood learning. This is the first public examination of Australia’s child care and early childhood learning system since the 1990s.
The inquiry will look into future options for child care and early childhood learning, with a focus on developing a system that is flexible, accessible, affordable and high quality. The Commission will conduct its inquiry through a public process of submissions, hearings and a draft report, which will allow all stakeholders views to be heard and considered.
Submissions close 3 February 2014.
The Commission expects to deliver its final report to the Australian Government by the end of October 2014.
