Childcare is an essential social service that allows the wheels of work and family to turn smoothly in tandem.

In 2007, Australia recorded its highest ever number of registered births, with 285,200 babies born into our community.

Now more than ever, governments must support parents and their children through family-friendly policies... including committing greater resources to provide high quality, affordable, accessible childcare. It's an investment for the whole country that will build healthy, happy communities.
