Detailed Outline

On 5 March 2007, the Minister for Commerce issued a media release announcing that the Government had signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with McMillan Shakespeare Australia Ltd (MSA) to reduce the cost of childcare and improve access to childcare places for public sector employees.

The MOU requires the NSW Government and MSA to attempt to reach a binding contractual agreement on the proposed arrangements which are intended to make childcare expenses more widely available as a tax effective salary packaging item.

The Department of Commerce will lead the contract negotiations with MSA which are currently in their early stages.  Agency briefings will be coordinated by the Department of Premier and Cabinet once contract negotiations are sufficiently advanced and more details about the proposed arrangements become available.  

A further Circular will be issued once more definite information can be provided.
