Childcare is an essential service asset class that enjoys bipartisan Federal and State Government support. The sector is underpinned by over $16 billion in Federal funding (FY25/26) to ensure that every child has access to at least 3 days per week of subsidised early education and care. The Government has also allocated a further $3.6 billion for educator wage increases – strengthening the tenant’s operational stability.
