Govt urged to ease process for childcare financial help

From Checkpoint, 5:50 pm on 7 November 2022

The government's being told to make the process for applying for childcare costs easy, so it can make it into the pockets of those it's being designed to help.

More families are set to qualify for support to cover the cost of childcare from April next year.

The government says its policy will mean more than half of all New Zealand families with children will be eligible for a subsidy.
