Unlocking more days of early learning for your child at Goodstart

FOR many families across the Bellarine, Armstrong Creek and Surf Coast region, balancing the budget while trying to give children the best start in life can feel like a constant juggle.

Recent changes to childcare subsidies are making that balance a little easier to strike, ensuring more children can access the benefits of quality early learning.

The 3 Day Guarantee is an initiative designed to support access for families who may have previously found themselves ineligible for significant subsidies.

If your family has been limited by activity test requirements – which factor in how many hours you work or study – this update is a game-changer.

It ensures that more children can access at least three days of subsidised early learning per week, regardless of their parents’ current work or study status.

Evidence shows quality early learning delivers much more than just care; it is where foundational social skills, literacy and emotional resilience are built.

By spending more time in a structured, supportive environment, children develop the confidence they need before heading off to primary school.

For parents and caregivers, this means more flexibility and the peace of mind that your child is learning and growing in a professional setting.

 

Whether you are a stay-at-home parent or looking to re-enter the workforce, the 3 Day Guarantee is designed to support your family’s unique situation.
