CHILDCARE CRISIS: The childcare deserts


Listen Later

Hey Mindset listeners! We wanted to share another podcast we think you'll love about Australia's childcare crisis. It's called At What Cost?

When is a choice not a choice? Almost a quarter of Australia’s population is now living in a ‘childcare desert’ - and this scarcity means that many families’ financial and work schedules hinge on being offered a childcare spot in the first place. 

In this episode, we hear from real parents and experts about the near-impossible workarounds for families who can’t access suitable childcare and can’t afford not to work: from regional mum Kelly, who forked out for a private carer when the local childcare refused her son full days of care, to agricultural workers taking their kids to work on the farm.
