Good Afternoon everyone! Not a typical post today, but a cause that sits very close to our hearts.
Join Us in Advocating for Affordable, Inclusive Childcare for All!
Families with children who have disabilities face a financial burden because the current Childcare Subsidy (CCS) cap does not reflect the additional costs of specialized care. Children with disabilities often require higher staff-to-child ratios and tailored support, and the CCS cap is the same for all families—this leaves families with large out-of-pocket expenses.
The current system is creating significant stress for families, forcing them to reduce work hours, leave their jobs, or use inappropriate care options.
We need your help to change this!
We’re calling for:
· Review and increase of the CCS cap for families of children with disabilities
· Creation of a Specialised Childcare Support Fund to help childcare providers cover the higher costs of specialized services like Ruby & Ollie’s All Abilities Childcare.
This is your chance to make a difference!
🌟 Sign the petition and help us ensure families can access affordable, specialised care that meets their children's unique needs. Even if this doesn’t affect you directly, your support can help build a future where childcare is affordable and inclusive for all Australians.
