More child care places

Empire Bay Before and After Hours School Care has been allocated an extra 15 places.

Member for Robertson Mr Jim Lloyd said the extra places would make a significant difference to the families of Empire Bay and its surrounds.

"Outside School Hours Care is a great option for parents of school age children, with many families relying on these services to help them balance the demands of work and family life.

"On the Central Coast, where we have a large commuter community, the provision of Outside School Hours Care facilities has been and will continue to be one of my main priorities for our region," Mr Lloyd said.

For more information about child care, families can call the Australian Government's national Child Care Access Hotline on 1800 670 305.
