The Support for Children in Hardship Bill is an omnibus bill which would increase work requirements for parents with dependent children who are on benefits, raise the level of assistance paid to low-income families for childcare, and increase the level of financial support to both beneficiary parents and working parents on low incomes.
The committee has resolved to publicly call for submissions and advises that submissions will close at 5pm on Wednesday, 8 July 2015.
