A Support-at-Home program begins 1 November and will retain many features of the Home Care Packages program.

But there will be changes.

It's estimated nearly 90,000 people approved for the Home Care Packages are on the waiting list, and many others are waiting to transition to the new package.

If you’re in this situation, we’d like to add your voice to the conversation.

We invite you to complete a short survey (only 2 questions!), on how waiting times have impacted you, so we can give real-life situations to key stakeholders.

Please complete the survey by 5pm Wednesday 27th August. Why? So, we can share your voice with decision makers at Parliament House on Friday.

Your answers will remain anonymous, and we will only contact you should you want to share more information with us.

Some media outlets are describing this as a "national carer register". (The actual name is National Educator Register).

This register applies to paid early education/childcare workers, and not people doing unpaid care for a family member or friend.

Education Minister Jason Clare says the new measures won't be a "silver bullet" but they will help improve the safety of children in childcare.
