In this moment of national grief and reckoning, the last thing families need is guilt piled on top of their fear and distress.

During the election, when asked about his legacy, the Prime Minister didn’t hesitate: universal, affordable early childhood education and care.

Australia’s high quality of life is offset by expensive childcare, impacting families and the economy significantly nationwide.

After years of fighting for better childcare, the government’s new plan for universal, affordable early education is a big win for both kids and working parents.

It’s possible, writes Georgie Dent. And not only life-changing, it could also be vote-changing in this “cost of working crisis”.

Broke if you do, broke if you don’t, is the unfortunate catch-cry for families around the country caught in the cost-of-working crisis.  

Parenting is the hardest job in the world for which there is no formal training, writes CEO of The Parenthood, Georgie Dent.

Georgie Dent is stepping away from The Parenthood for 6 months, with Jessica Rudd stepping into the CEO role.

Children need family-friendly schools, not extended hours. The struggle of working parents and the impact on families and children require flexible workplaces and accessible after-school care.
