As all families with children in early learning services would be aware, the government's new Child Care Subsidy has now replaced the previous system (Child Care Benefit and Child Care Rebate).

The new system means that some families will be better off with a smaller "out of pocket" fee, while others will be worse off, depending on their family income and family activities.

With about 1.2 million Australian children in early learning environments, the new Child Care Subsidy is the most significant change in up to 40 years. 

The Australian Childcare Alliance is very interested to find out how families have been affected by the new Child Care Subsidy and report these findings back to the Federal Government and relevant Shadow Ministers, with the view that all children count and that all families should have access to a base level of affordable, high quality early learning under the new subsidy system.

We would greatly appreciate your feedback on this very important issue.

The survey should only take you a few minutes to complete and does not require any personal information that reveals your identity.
