My question is to the Premier.

This week, the FAO report confirmed what experts have been warning the government about for some time. The implementation of the $10-a-day child care program is under threat because of low pay and poor working conditions. The average ECE worker only stays in the child care sector for just three years.

Does the government’s plan include creating not-for-profit spaces with good-paying jobs?

We’ve been urging the government to create an early years and child care workforce advisory commission.

Will the government commit today to prioritizing $10-a-day child care, and make sure child care is a career that workers want to stay in?
