A10: Hughenden Branch

Early Childhood
Motion:

“That ICPA Qld lobbies relevant stakeholders and In Home Care (IHC) to establish a rural and remote IHC branch that solely works alongside families who are geographically isolated.”

Explanation:

In Home Care currently provides funding for families whose circumstances make it difficult for them to access other forms of mainstream childcare.  This funding enables families to employ a suitable educator to deliver childcare in the home.  The funding is tailored to meet the needs and circumstances of each family. There are a number of In Home Care support agencies in Queensland.  It would be beneficial to rural and remote families who use IHC to work with one Agency who solely support families and their needs living in geographical isolated areas.
