Mr Speaker and Honourable Members,
Later today, I will be laying before this Honourable House the Child Day Care Allowance Amendment Regulations 2023.
Mr Speaker, the purpose of these Regulations is to increase the value of awards and toexpand the pool of persons eligible for the benefit. Specifically, it amends the Child Day Care Allowance Regulations 2008 to introduce tiered, income-based benefits, and a maximum gross annual household income of $130,000 with respect to an application for child day care allowance.
