Parent - Childcare Demand Survey - RDAMR

RDA Murraylands and Riverland (RDAMR) are working with a range of stakeholders to assist in planning for future childcare services across the Murraylands and Riverland.

Detailed data around families' needs and preferences for childcare is needed to understand the profile of demand for services to effectively plan and deliver childcare solutions across the region.

All households living with children aged 0 - 4 years, or expecting children in the near future are encouraged to fill out the survey - even if you have filled out similar surveys previously. This data will be used to support various planning activities underway to secure services funded by State and Federal governments.

All individual responses will be kept confidential; your individual responses and personal data will not be shared with any third parties outside RDA Murraylands and Riverland. De-identified, aggregated data will be packaged and presented to local, State and Federal Governments and other relevant stakeholders to inform their service planning activities.

Any questions or queries can be directed to Lorena Lyon, Director Workforce Development at RDAMR at llyon@rdamr.com.au or 8580 8500.
