The mychild.gov.au website is the Australian Government's online child care
portal. On this website you will find information on different types of child
care and how to get assistance with the cost of child care. You can also search
a database to find child care centres in your local area. In many cases, you
will also be able to find the services' vacancy and fee information. You will
also find links to other useful websites about children's health and wellbeing,
parenting and family support services.
