Regulation Impact Statement for consultation – Department of Social Services
On 29 June 2015, the Department of Social Services (DSS) released a Regulation Impact Statement (RIS) for consultation on the Government’s proposed Child Care Assistance Package. The package proposes new child care subsidy and assistance arrangements. The package includes the introduction of smart technology to ensure better monitoring of the system, more efficient payment processes, and reduced red tape for both families and service providers. The proposal has been assessed by the Office of Best Practice Regulation (OBPR) as likely to have a substantial or widespread impact on the economy. Consultations on this RIS are now open and will close on 31 July 2015. If you wish to provide feedback on the analysis within the RIS, please see the Early Childhood Australia website. The RIS has been certified by the DSS and was subject to an early assessment by the OBPR following publication for consultation.
