About This Podcast
"Never in my wildest dreams or nightmares did I think I would find myself in that circumstance."
Australia is a great place to have kids… In most ways. But right now we’re in a childcare crisis and the consequences are dire - for children, their families, communities, the economy. And, most particularly, for women. What’s the true cost of child care in this country? And what can be done about it?
Join host Georgie Dent for a special three-episode exploration of Australia's childcare crisis. In At What Cost? she speaks with parents paying the price and experts with solutions that could make Australia the best place in the world to raise a child.
