Parents, are you satisfied with the Budget 2017? What do you think is missing?

- increase the no. of childcare leave - more grants to help the new families, many are struggling as the up-to $6000 match by government is only sufficient for a few months of infant care and less than a year of childcare. It gets wiped out totally in the first year. Many young parents do not have the luxury of getting help from both their family & extended family. - Govt to encourage all companies to adopt the flexi-work approach esp for female employees with young children - Govt to set aside a higher budget to top up the CDA accounts of the children - extend maternity leave from 16 to 18 weeks
