The Australian Businesswomen’s Network’s Advocacy Advisor, Amy Lyden, was quoted in Smarter Business Ideas in an article called, Government prioritises cars over childcare: female entrepreneurs. The article profiles how the Federal Budget provides a lack of support for working families and provides examples of how the Government could be doing a better job.
Amy says, “All legitimate child care should be tax deductible. This includes approved and registered daycare centres, nannies and so on. Families should have a right to decide the best option of care for their children.” “Also, the child care rebate should be extended to registered child care and not limited to only approved child care.”
