# Cheaper Child Care legislation receives Royal Assent Date: 2022 ## The fact On 29 November 2022 the Family Assistance Legislation Amendment (Cheaper Child Care) Act 2022 received Royal Assent. From July 2023 the Child Care Subsidy maximum rose to 90 percent for families on incomes up to $80,000, tapering to $530,000. ABS later printed a large fall in child-care CPI. ## Context 2022 election cheaper-child-care pledge sat as parent. Neighbouring PPL 2024 is a later family file. He did not sit as every centre. 2022 election is the parent. PPL March 2024 is a child family-policy file. The Prime Minister of Australia chairs Cabinet and advises the Governor-General. Parliament enacts; the Governor-General assents. He does not write a High Court judgment, a state housing approval, or a US AUKUS submarine yard print. ## Evidence and sources Federal Register of Legislation carries the official instrument or communique. Parliament of Australia records the same dated act independently. ## Significance The path is [household purchasing power](/drivers/household-purchasing-power), [labour-market tightness](/drivers/labour-market-tightness), and early-learning access: a completed CCS-rate statute. ## What is established and what is not Established: 29 November 2022 assent and July 2023 commencement, independently placed on the parliamentary record. Not established: that every family’s gap fee thereby fell that Tuesday, or a unique later female-participation coefficient. What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions. The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit. The Governor-General assented. He led Cabinet. Education ministers administer. Centres set fees.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date.

The Governor-General assented. He led Cabinet. Education ministers administer. Centres set fees. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series. ## People - Anthony Albanese: https://factrail.ai/people/anthony-albanese ## Drivers - Household Purchasing Power: https://factrail.ai/drivers/household-purchasing-power - Labour-Market Tightness: https://factrail.ai/drivers/labour-market-tightness - Digital Learning Access: https://factrail.ai/drivers/edu-digital-learning-access ## Sources - https://www.aph.gov.au/About_Parliament/Parliamentary_departments/Parliamentary_Library/FlagPost/2023/June/July_2023_Child_Care_Subsidy_changes - https://www.legislation.gov.au/C2022A00066/asmade ## Methodology https://factrail.ai/methodology Canonical: https://factrail.ai/facts/au-childcare-2022
