Early Childhood Education and Care (Strengthening Regulation of Early Education) Bill 2025

The "A New Tax System (Family Assistance) (Administration) Act 1999 Amendment Bill 2025" has been passed by the Parliament of Australia on 31/07/2025. This bill aims to strengthen powers related to child care subsidy providers, expand publicising actions taken against them, and broaden powers of entry. It also requires Family Day Care and In Home Care providers to collect gap fees directly from families. This amendment is expected to have a significant impact on the early childhood education and care industry, particularly in relation to compliance and regulation.
