The cost and availability of quality childcare incurred by parents in the pursuit of earning taxable income continues to be a significant structural barrier to career advancement of working parents – and mums in particular - and is having a cumulative and enduring impact on the talent pool and leadership pipeline for employers.

The campaign launched on the centenary of International Women’s Day, hopes to reignite the debate on the cost and affordability of child care for working parents.  The goal of the campaign is legitimize the cost of childcare for working parents by enabling the full costs of care to claimable as a deduction against taxable income.
