05 JulACCC report says community childcare sector delivers for families across Australia
The Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) not-for-profit sector is more affordable and accessible for families according to the interim report of Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) Review into Childcare Pricing, with fees in the for-profit sector on average 7% higher.
“The report confirms what the not-for-profit sector has known for a long while. We’re higher in quality and less costly on average, and we educate children across all locations. If governments want to improve access to Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) for all children and are seeking efficiency, investing in the not-for-profit sector is a big part of the answer,” said Early Learning Association Australia (ELAA) Acting CEO, Megan O’Connell.
