Every time I sit on the floor of a GoodStart centre I’m blown away by the warm, clever, intentional work of our teams. So excited to make this announcement today. goodstart.org.au/getmedia/b0…
Whirlwind visit today at our beautiful Goodstart Mount Nasura in WA from MP Matt Keogh, Minister Anne Aly and PM Anthony Albanese
In conversation with @GeraldineDoogue from RN about pressures in the child care sector. Educators are our most important resource and should be remunerated accordingly.

A big thank you to John and the team at Goodstart Early Learning in Wishart for letting me visit today.
According to @GoodStartel our Cheaper Child Care laws have cut the cost of child care at their centres by 15 per cent.
Nine out of ten families will be better off even after our annual fee increases, driven by significant wage rises (7.5% for most of our educators) and the impact of inflation, take effect.
Incredible address from the Honourable Leeanne Enoch, celebrating ‘all those who quietly carry their excellence in all they do’. #NAIDOC
Awesome vibes and fab frocks at NAIDOC ball tonight. With our First Nations Leaders #NAIDOC #Goodstart
Great chance to talk to RN this morning about how the new child care subsidy increases will benefit children and families.
Tomorrow, the federal government will increase subsidies for childcare to ease the financial pressure on families across Australia.
But many families have just been notified by childcare centres that fees are set to increase by 7.8 per cent.
