Childcare Price Transparency Bill 2018

Public bill · Private Member · Introduced

Requires childcare providers to clearly display the prices they charge for each service in their premises and on any website or app they use to advertise, including where prices vary by the child’s age. It also lets the Minister publish a national register of childcare providers and their prices, so parents can compare costs more easily. Providers who fail to show the required information, or charge more than the posted price, could face fines.
