Family Day Care Australia (FDCA) CEO Andrew Paterson is hosting a Pre-Election forum with the Hon Stuart Robert MP, Acting Minister for Education and Youth and the Hon Amanda Rishworth MP, Shadow Minister for Early Childhood Education and Development tomorrow, Thursday 28 April from 6:30pm AEST.
The forum will run live on the FDCA Facebook page in addition to being streamed through our website to ensure maximum visibility for this important event as we head into the upcoming federal election.
We will be calling on the Minister and Shadow Minister to answer a number of questions on the future of family day care, including: “How will your government, if elected, better support family day care in Australia?”
In the lead up to the Pre-Election Forum, we encourage you to read the Response to Policy Election Commitments Request document put together by FDCA, summarising the feedback received from the major Australian political parties on our Election Policy Commitment Requests.
