Parents with young children in early childhood education will soon be able to claim up to $75 per week in a measure the Government says will help families with the high cost of living.
The policy, called FamilyBoost, was first announced in March last year.
Finance Minister Nicola Willis said around 21,000 families would be eligible for the rebate and it would cost $723 million over four years—"I am delighted we are delivering on our promise today with support for those who need it."
