Early learning
Three Cheers for Three Days! What the Activity Test Reform means for your family
From January 2026, most families will be able to qualify for 3 days of subsidised childcare per week
3 Day Guarantee
From January 2026, new legislation provides families access to at least three days of subsidised early learning, no activity test required.
Three days of quality early learning can change everything for a child – more time to learn, build friendships, grow confidence, establish routines and develop connections. Because every child deserves the best possible start.
