Labor is committed to providing cheaper child care for all families.

• Working families with kids in child care are struggling right now. 
• Families know how expensive and difficult the child care system is to navigate.
• Australians pay some of the highest child care costs in the world.
• In fact, fees have increased more than 35% under the Liberals.
• The way the current system works means that many women actually lose money if they work more than 3 days per week.

That’s why Labor will reduce child care costs. Our policy will:

• Scrap the $10,560 child care subsidy cap which often sees women lose money for every extra day worked.
• Lift the maximum child care subsidy rate to 90%, and
• Increase the child care subsidy rate for every family earning under $530,000.

Labor will work to fix Australia’s broken child care system which currently locks out more than 100,000 families because they just can’t afford it.
