The Coalition\u2019s Child Care Subsidy is leaving more money in the pockets of parents.
\nOut-of-pocket child care costs have reduced by 8.9 per cent since the Coalition introduced the Child Care Subsidy on 2 July 2018, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics\u2019 consumer price index (CPI) released today.
\nMinister for Education Dan Tehan said the Coalition provided around $8 billion for the Child Care Subsidy in this year\u2019s Budget to support parents with the cost of child care while they\u2019re working, training, studying or volunteering.
\n\u201cNearly one million families are benefitting from the Coalition\u2019s child care reforms,\u201d Mr Tehan said.
\n\u201cWe have removed the annual rebate cap for most families, increased the subsidies for low and middle income families and provided a generous safety net to support children and families who need extra help.
\n\u201cWe can afford to provide a generous child care subsidy that means families are keeping more of their money in their pockets because we can manage the economy.
\n\u201cLabor can\u2019t be trusted to run the economy and if they can\u2019t run the economy they can\u2019t guarantee they\u2019ll pay for the child care subsidy that is supporting hard-working families.
\n\u201cThat\u2019s why Labor is the Bill Australia can\u2019t afford.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
