A new limited series podcast reveals the depths and impact of Australia’s childcare crisis. Over three episodes, At What Cost? examines how cost and supply issues are hurting families, communities and the Australian economy. At What Cost? is an FW podcast made in partnership with The Parenthood. 

“The exorbitant cost of childcare is standing in the way of parents’ being able to participate in the paid work their families need and their children accessing the benefits of early education” says podcast host and CEO of The Parenthood, Georgie Dent.

At What Cost? is a limited series by FW, produced in partnership with The Parenthood.
