NorthStar Impact’s next Impact Alpha Webinar, “Childcare in Australia”, will be held on Tuesday, October 15 2024.
NorthStar has been advocating for accessible and affordable high-quality childcare. A significant barrier to this has been the sector’s wages, which have capped supply growth.
On 8 August 2024, the government announced its support for a wage increase for early childhood education and care professionals. The timing of the announcement took many by surprise, but it was welcomed by the industry. This development suggests the potential for further policy change in the sector.
The webinar will see NorthStar’s Claudia Kwan will be joined by Jay Weatherill, Advocacy & Engagement, Minderoo Foundation, along with Mathew Edwards, Managing Director, Nido Education (ASX: NDO) to discuss key considerations for Australia and different pathways towards universal childcare.
NorthStar is a participant of Minderoo’s Thrive by Five campaign.
