Roundtable to address concerns about Federal Government child care changes
Child care providers will convene a roundtable at Parliament House in Canberra this morning in a bid to convince the Federal Government to change its plans for the sector.
The Federal Government wants to overhaul child care rebates paid to more than 1 million families who use the system.
As part of the changes, multiple payments would be replaced with one means-tested subsidy.
A tougher activity test for parents would also be introduced before they qualify for any Government support
