For a brief period in 2020 at the height of the first COVID 19 outbreak, families around Australia experienced something remarkable – free early childhood education and child care. For many, it was the circuit breaker they needed to navigate treacherous financial challenges and other pressures that put families under stress.

As we head towards a federal election, the campaign to see the provision of free early childhood education in Australia is ramping up.

Georgie Dent is Executive Director of The Parenthood, an advocacy organisation that represents over 72,000 parents, carers and allies around Australia.

Georgie joins Francis and Sally on this weeks pod.
