"Never in my wildest dreams or nightmares did I think I would find myself in that circumstance."

Australia is a great place to have kids... In most ways. But right now we’re in a childcare crisis and the consequences are dire - for children, their families, communities and the economy. And, most particularly, for women. What’s the true cost of child care in this country? And what can be done about it?

Join host Georgie Dent as she shares real stories of parents paying the price and expert solutions. Over three episodes, she shares the stark reality of this broken system - and how we can make Australia the best place in the world to raise a child.
