On Wednesday 14 February 2024, FDCA placed a submission in response to the Productivity Commission’s Inquiry into Early Childhood Education and Care “A path to universal early childhood education and care: Draft report”.
In this submission FDCA calls on the Inquiry to make final recommendations that account for the essential role of family day care within the current landscape, the unique structural elements of the model that underpin its key strengths, the significant potential capabilities beyond existing utilization rates, and which ultimately support the sector’s growth and viability.
