The NSW Government has formed a new Joint Working Group whose main aim is to make it easier for new child care services to get established in NSW. With representatives from the NSW Department of Education, the Department of Planning and Environment and the Office of Local Government, they will explore how they can simplify the planning system as it applies to child care centres. Planning Minister Rob Stokes has welcomed this new group.

Your child care business provides an important community service. We all remember the panic when ABC Learning went into administration, as parents – many of them working full time – desperately needed to secure continued child care. Because of this, if your child care centre is struggling due to certain circumstances, there may be government help available. The Federal Government offers information and support to child care services, and this includes grants and financial assistance.
