History of Child Care rebate
Been searching for ages .... does anyone have an idea of when child care benefit/rebate began in Australia?
Re: History of Child Care rebate
hi fefe76,
i tried searching for it in google and it was quite a challenge to find this info...In the end I found this in wikipedia..
In Australia, Child benefit payments are currently called Family Tax Benefit. Family Tax Benefit is income tested and is linked to the Australian Income tax system. It can be claimed as fortnighly payments or as an annual lump sum. It may be payable for dependant children from birth up to the age of 24. Children 16 years or older may alternatively be eligible for Youth Allowance. Parents of dependant children under the age of 16 may also be eligible for Income Support Payments including Parenting Payment and Newstart Allowance for Primary Carers of Children.
On 1 July 2000 the Australian government introduced major changes to the tax system including the introduction of a broad-based Goods and Service Tax (a VAT), substantial income tax cuts, as well as major changes to assistance for families.

is this for a Diploma question?

Re: History of Child Care rebate
I found this info
There has been a long history of the Commonwealth Government providing funding to assist families to access early childhood education and child care. The Commonwealth Government first provided financial assistance for child care in 1972.
&
The Childcare Benefit (CCB) was introduced in July 2000 and replaced Childcare Assistance and the Childcare Cash Rebate.
Which means there was still some sort of assistance in place before CCB came into effect, thus my confusion, not sure what to mention since the question asks me to Identify & explain the barrier - why it exists, the historical context & contributing factors
Yes it is for the same Diploma question that I posted about before - CHCIC501A
Manage children’s services workplace practice to address regulations and quality assurance.
I am writing about Affordability of Child Care as a barrier to the COAG outcome 'quality early childhood development services support the workforce participation choices of families’
