Tasmania’s family day care restrictions have raised a significant policy question for the early childhood education and care sector.

According to the article, the state regulator has confirmed that the restriction on dual-educator family day care models is a policy decision aimed at national consistency, rather than an explicit requirement of the National Law or National Regulations.

For affected services, educators and families, that distinction matters.

Abracadabra Family Day Care in Spreyton and Addisons Family Day Care in Latrobe are now facing closure, despite operating physically separate education and care environments on the same property. The article also highlights concerns about limited support for transition, access challenges in underserved communities and broader calls for national reform.

For approved providers, family day care schemes, policymakers and regional communities, this is a story about regulation, access, workforce viability and the practical impact of policy choices.

Last Saturday many of Thrive’s FDC & OSHC educators enjoyed a fascinating PD session with Marc Armitage at Play. They explored meaningful play spaces and delved into play work theory. It was a wonderful opportunity to learn from an expert in the field, enriching educational practice in our services.
