Working parents around Brisbane are facing a dilemma about where to place their kids, with a shortage of after school care places available for children to attend.
Executive director of The ParentHood family lobby group, Jo Briskey, is calling on the state government to prioritise making before and after school care more accessible to families.
Ms Briskey says there is not enough infrastructure to keep up with demand and many families are turning to hiring nannies, which is expensive because babysitters aren’t government subsidised.
