$5 Billion Boost for Childcare costs

Families in NSW will save thousands of dollars a year on childcare costs thanks to the NSW Government’s landmark investment of up to $5 billion over the next decade to expand access to high quality, affordable care.

Under the reforms, a middle-income Sydney family with one child in full-time childcare can save up to $3,900 a year. A further $281 million will be invested in the early childhood workforce to provide scholarships and increase the number of early childhood educators in NSW. This includes higher education scholarships of up to $25,000, VET scholarships of up to $2,000 and employer supplements for staff retention.
