Description

Australian families gain expanded childcare access, with three guaranteed days of subsidized early education and care each week for children. The new system replaces the old activity test, opening doors for 126,000 previously excluded children. Advocacy groups have long advocated for this change, citing the importance of early education for disadvantaged kids. Despite this win, challenges remain, including long waitlists and limited services in rural areas.
