“Paying more for childcare than rent”: Georgie Dent's story
<p>Georgie Dent isn’t just our host: she’s also a mum-of-three, and her firsthand experience of trying (and sometimes failing) to find suitable childcare for her daughters has taught her a lot. Like: sometimes it costs $165 per day and a 45-minute commute across town to find care for your kids.</p> <p>At times, the search for an available childcare spot will feel like a full-blown fixation. And at some point, you’ll realise that these barriers aren’t just facing you – they’re a systemic issue, and they’re leading women to step back from work in droves. In this intimate and relatable bonus episode, host Georgie Dent shares her own frank (and frankly stressful) account of how her family’s quest for childcare sparked her passion for changing the system, and how it’s shaped her work as CEO of The Parenthood.</p> <ul> <li aria-level="1">At What Cost is an FW podcast in partnership with The Parenthood, a not-for-profit with a mission to make Australia the best place in the world to be a parent and raise a child.<a href="https://www.theparenthood.org.au/join_the_parenthood"> Join 80,000 other parents and carers today</a></li> <li aria-level="1">Become an <a href="http://futurewomen.com/">FW member</a> to join the movement and fast-track your professional development</li> <li aria-level="1">Keep up with @futurewomen on<a href="https://instagram.com/futurewomen"> Instagram</a>,<a href="https://www.facebook.com/FutureWomen"> Facebook</a>,<a href="https://au.linkedin.com/company/future-women"> LinkedIn</a> and<a href="https://www.threads.net/@futurewomen"> Threads</a></li> </ul><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>

Answer these four crucial questions before accepting a childcare spot

But before you bust out a victory dance and accept the spot, there’s one more thing to consider: quality.</p> <p>In this bonus episode, host Georgie Dent lays out four practical, expert-approved pointers on how to work out if an early childhood education and care service is actually any good (Spoiler alert: Flashy new buildings and high fees don’t necessarily mean top quality.)</p> <p>After all, as we hear from the experts: the developmental benefits of high-quality early childhood education and care are well-proven, so choosing the right centre can help set your kids up for life.</p> <ul> <li aria-level="1">At What Cost is an FW podcast in partnership with The Parenthood, a not-for-profit with a mission to make Australia the best place in the world to be a parent and raise a child.<a href="https://www.theparenthood.org.au/join_the_parenthood"> Join 80,000 other parents and carers today</a></li> <li aria-level="1">Become an <a href="http://futurewomen.com/">FW member</a> to join the movement and fast-track your professional development</li> <li aria-level="1">Keep up with @futurewomen on<a href="https://instagram.com/futurewomen"> Instagram</a>,<a href="https://www.facebook.com/FutureWomen"> Facebook</a>,<a href="https://au.linkedin.com/company/future-women"> LinkedIn</a> and<a href="https://www.threads.net/@futurewomen"> Threads</a></li> </ul><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>

3. Nothing less than a revolution
<p>In the blur of early parenthood, many parents don’t stop to think about how the roles they adopt at home – as the primary caregiver, or as the breadwinner – impact their careers and finances in the long-term. But they do. And when families can’t access affordable childcare, it’s generally women whose job security takes a hit. This fuels gender inequality on a national scale… contributing to the gender pay gap and the super gap. It also leaves real mums like Emma, whose story we hear in this episode, grappling with housing insecurity and an uncertain future.</p> <p>Join our host Georgie Dent in our third and final full-length episode as we unpack the costs of the childcare crisis to gender equality and the economy Plus: experts share five key solutions that could help make childcare truly accessible and affordable for all – which would be transformative for our country, and especially women.</p> <ul> <li aria-level="1">At What Cost is an FW podcast in partnership with The Parenthood, a not-for-profit with a mission to make Australia the best place in the world to be a parent and raise a child.<a href="https://www.theparenthood.org.au/join_the_parenthood"> Join 80,000 other parents and carers today</a></li> <li aria-level="1">Become an <a href="http://futurewomen.com/">FW member</a> to join the movement and fast-track your professional development</li> <li aria-level="1">Keep up with @futurewomen on<a href="https://instagram.com/futurewomen"> Instagram</a>,<a href="https://www.facebook.com/FutureWomen"> Facebook</a>,<a href="https://au.linkedin.com/company/future-women"> LinkedIn</a> and<a href="https://www.threads.net/@futurewomen"> Threads</a></li> </ul><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
