Extra 1000 nannies will be present for big families, shift-workers and people living in rural as well as remote communities. Yesterday the Howard Government announced that families who are incapable of using childcare centers would unfreeze the program. All of the breastfeeding mothers working from home have been detached from the list of eligible nannies to apply for in-home careers. The moratorium on the allocation of innovative in-home places imposed last year will be lifted up, allowing accessible service providers for expanding services or new providers to offer in-home care for the first time from next year. More money will be made available for services operating in rural and remote areas as well, in recognition of the extra costs involved. The Government said that the announcement made less than a week after an inquiry was a twist of fate chaired by Liberal backbencher Bronwyn Bishop who has handed down a report recommending that childcare fees that includes paying for nannies and should be made tax-deductible.
