The Salvation Army is welcoming the Government's childcare policy but has some concerns.
The Family Boost policy will see parents and caregivers able to claim back up to 25% of childcare costs from July, with a $75 a week limit.
Salvation Army Social Policy Director Ian Hutson says there seems to be some bureaucracy, with parents having to show three months of invoices to get the rebate.
He told Mike Hosking he's also wondering if it will help the poorest of parents.
Hutson says while $75 seems a lot, it won't be enough to cover some people's growing costs.
