I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. (1)-(2) Alternative models for rural and remote childcare regulations have been developed by the Department for Community Development following consultation with the community, and will be forwarded to parliamentary counsel shortly. The further development of the alternative regulations remains a priority for the Department for Community Development. (3) The creation of a new department of communities focusing on universal community services and the early years will assist with the development and implementation of childcare regulations, including the alternative models for rural childcare.
