DEEWR helps families to participate in the social and economic life of the community through the provision of support for child care services.

Recognising how critical the early years are for children, the MyChild website has been designed to help give families the support they need to make informed choices that will lay the foundations for their child’s future.

On MyChild's website you can find information on a range of topics such as the early childhood agenda, caring, learning, supporting and wellbeing for your child as well as information on the different types of financial assistance to help you with the cost of placing your child in care such as Child Care Benefit and Child Care Rebate.

The MyChild website includes a searchable database of local child care centres including the services they provide and the fees they charge.

Also available is the Information for Families Using Child Care - Fact Sheet Kit which aims to assist families to access the support and services required to make important and sometimes complex, child care decisions.
