There’s no nice way to put it: Australian childcare is broken, and not just for those with children.It’s prohibitively expensive, getting the days you’re after is like winning the lottery and if you do get some government subsidy, you have the pleasure of hours on the phone to Centrelink.We’re at a critical point though. The government has promised a huge overhaul of the system and the prime minister is considering reducing the cost to just $10 per kid, per day.Today, CEO of The Parenthood Georgie Dent on the problems at the core of this broken system and the Centre for Policy Development’s Katherine Oborne on one way to fix it.Socials: Stay in touch with us on Twitter and InstagramGuest: CEO of The Parenthood, Georgie Dent; The Centre for Policy Development’s program director Katherine Oborne.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
