I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. Yes. The Department of Education is currently in
the process of extending existing child and parent centre contracts to June 2026.
During this time, the department will undertake a rigorous commissioning
process to understand existing and future service demands. This process will
inform any decision on whether to expand the number of child and parent
centres.
