Why are we undertaking this project?
Access to childcare supports local families, workforce participation, business growth and community wellbeing. This project will help identify local childcare demand, understand service gaps and provide evidence to support future childcare planning and investment decisions.
Whether you currently use childcare, may need childcare in the future, are planning a family, or have experienced challenges accessing childcare, we want to hear from you.
Prefer to Chat in Person?
Join us at one of our community drop-in sessions to discuss local childcare needs, complete the survey and enjoy a free coffee from a local business.
