As a mother of three, I know it’s families that are bearing the brunt of the cost of living.
The State Government is investing in the future of every Victorian family.
That’s why we’re listening – and helping to ease the pressure on household budgets.
That includes free kinder for every three and four-year-old – saving families up to $2500 every child, every year.
Not only does it save families money, it’s helping parents – particularly mums – juggle work and home.
Families just want the best for their kids. The best education, the right textbook, a fresh uniform, the camps and excursions they’ll remember forever.
Our $400 School Saving Bonus is doing just that – helping give kids a great start to the school year and their parents one less thing to worry about.
But kids can’t learn on an empty stomach – that’s why we’re also supporting families by expanding School Breakfast Clubs to every government school, giving students a free, healthy breakfast before school every day.
Good health is essential for staying focused at school. And our Smile Squad is ensuring that all Victorian government school students can get the high-quality dental care they need, at school – for free.
We’re on the side of Victorians who are feeling the pressure and we’re helping families save in big ways and small.
Because all of it adds up.
