A quarter of a million Australian families will be more than $2200 a year better off when additional childcare subsidies are introduced early next year.
The additional subsidies for families with two or more children in care were due to start in July 2022, but the federal government has brought the start date forward to March.
Education and Youth Minister Alan Tudge said the $1.7bn boost to the subsidy scheme would ease pressure on working families and encourage more parents into work.
“These changes are good for families and great for the economy, and it’s significant that we are able to deliver them sooner,” Mr Tudge said.
