Thanks again for agreeing to help save your childcare.

Don't forget to let us know how it went.

  • Like many not-for-profit early learning providers, Uniting is not eligible for the NSW JobSaver subsidies but can’t divert funds from other  programs like aged care or foster care.
  • Without the gap fee payments that the Federal Government has waived for families, Uniting Early Learning is losing money every week.
  • Many families with essential workers still rely on Early Learning providers like Uniting.
  • Uniting’s services are under threat if they don’t receive additional Government funding.  
  • The NSW Government needs to widen eligibility criteria so that Uniting and other early learning providers can access JobSaver or make an equivalent payment to Early Learning

   And remember to thank them for their time.
