This proposal by Labor will also include inbuilt compliance measures to ensure childcare workers secure pay rises before the money flows back into the service.
"We’ve got fair-dinkum policies – we’re going to announce some more on Sunday. We are about closing the gap. Whatever improvements have been made in the last six years … no wages have risen” Mr Shorten said.
The spending increase will deliver direct Commonwealth funding for wage increases for some of Australia’s most low paid workers in childcare centres across Australia.
Labor will confirm the policy over the coming days.
