I thank Senator Seselja for the question. We are very cognisant of the fact that access to affordable, flexible and accessible child care is more and more critical for workforce participation of Australian families, but particularly women.

We need a childcare system that suits today's 24/7 economy, not the old nine-to-five working week. That would mean that families are able to plan child care around their work life, not the other way around.
