Child care—fees
(Question No 2701)
Mrs Kikkert asked the Minister for Education and Early Childhood Development, upon notice, on 20 September 2019:
(1) Has the ACT Government ever conducted or commissioned a formal review or study to determine the economic and/or other drivers behind the Territory having the most expensive childcare fees in the nation.
(2) Besides promising to incrementally introduce universal preschool to three-year-olds, what other steps has the ACT Government taken or considered to decrease the pressure for childcare fees to continue increasing in Canberra.
(3) Does the Minister have economic analysis or modelling to indicate what impact expanding preschool will have on childcare fees across the board; if so, what is the predicted impact.
(4) What evidence does the Minister have that expanding universal preschool will not contribute to and/or worsen understaffing issues in the Territory’s childcare sector.
