**About the Early Childhood Outcomes Division**

As part of this reform, the government has established the Childcare and Economic Opportunity Fund - a $5 billion investment over 10 years to improve economic participation in the workforce, particularly for women, by addressing the barriers to affordable and accessible quality childcare.
