www.ashburtoncourier.co.nz Making child care affordable for families Formanyworking families here in Ashburton, child care is abighouseholdcost, which is whywe’re making child caremoreaffordable forlow and middle income families. Werecently announced that our governmentis significantly expanding child careassistance, cutting costs forworking parentsand supporting more children into early education. Ontop of this, we’re further boosting Working forFamilies and the Best Start payment, providing more supporttohelpease thepressure. Assomeone whohas seen firsthand the positive impact good early childhood education can make,thisisapolicy that is dear to myheart andIam so proud of. This expansion willsee 54 per cent of all NewZealand families with children now being eligible for subsidisedchild care assistance and willkick in fromApril1next year. Theexact amount families will save on child care costs will depend on the number of hoursthey work, thewages they areon, the number of hoursofchild care perday,and thecost of theirearly child care education centre. Forexample, aMid Canterbury family with two parentsboth working 40 hours per week on $26 per hour with twochildren under five whowillnot have been eligible for child care assistance, nowwill be eligible for $252 perweek. Child care assistancehas been neglected for more than adecade, since income thresholds werefrozenby National in 2010. I’m really proud that the changes we’re making will see thousands of parents given back the choice to do what’sbest for their family– Iknow what adifference this willmake. By reducing financial barriersand better supporting parentswho want to enter workor further training, we’re also helpingfilllabour shortages, whichisgood news for Ashburton families,local businesses andour economy. These next steps buildon theworkthatour government hasalready done to ease costofliving pressuresonNew Zealanders in theface of global inflation, including ourcostof living package, which includes the fuel tax cutand more. We’re also taking action on supermarkets to make sure Kiwis are paying afair price at thecheckout, becausewe’refed up with supermarkets earning $1 million aday in excess profits while people are paying apremiumfor the basics. Atatimewhenfamilies arefeeling the costofliving spike, ourgovernmentis investing in what matters most. I’mreallyproud that we’re nowtaking thenext steptomakesure childcare is within reachfor parents andthat families herein Ashburton have more support to cover other costs.
