G8 Education runs almost 400 centres nationally, under well-known brand names like Jellybeans, Buggles and Great Beginnings.

Carolyn Smith, Early Childhood director at the United Workers Union told Oliver Peterson on 102.5 ABC Perth Drive the decision will impact close to 1,000 workers.

3 Day Guarantee is now in effect

All Child Care Subsidy (CCS) eligible families can now get at least 72 hours of subsidised care per fortnight. These changes are known as the 3 Day
Guarantee.

Families can get 100 hours of subsidised child care each fortnight for each child if they:

* care for an Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander child

* have more than 48 hours each fortnight of
recognised participation

* have an exemption or experience exceptional
circumstances, or receive Additional Child
Care Subsidy (ACCS) child wellbeing,
temporary financial hardship or grandparent
payments.

Families must still pay a gap fee, except in certain circumstances. Families are not guaranteed a place with a provider. Families will still need to secure a place with their chosen child care service.

Families who want to get more than 72 hours will need to report their recognised participation to Services Australia.

Considering childcare but think the cost is too high? The “3 Day Guarantee," started January 5, 2026, ensuring all eligible families get at least 72 hours (3 days) of subsidised care per fortnight, replacing the old activity test.
