• CHILDCARE CRISIS: The childcare deserts
    Feb 18 2025

    Hey Mindset listeners! We wanted to share another podcast we think you'll love about Australia's childcare crisis. It's called At What Cost?

    When is a choice not a choice? Almost a quarter of Australia’s population is now living in a ‘childcare desert’ - and this scarcity means that many families’ financial and work schedules hinge on being offered a childcare spot in the first place.

    In this episode, we hear from real parents and experts about the near-impossible workarounds for families who can’t access suitable childcare and can’t afford not to work: from regional mum Kelly, who forked out for a private carer when the local childcare refused her son full days of care, to agricultural workers taking their kids to work on the farm.

  • Childcare crisis special: "The guilt filled juggle."
    Feb 13 2025

    Hey Mindset listeners! We wanted to share another podcast we think you'll love about Australia's childcare crisis. It's called At What Cost?

    Australia is known as the “lucky country”. So how did struggling to access affordable childcare become the norm? Amid a cost-of-living crunch, most families say they need two incomes to make ends meet. But with childcare fees in Australia being among the highest in the world, parents are caught in a “cost of working trap”: they can’t afford not to work, but the cost of care is so high it eats into their earnings.

Women who built careers by forging their own paths.

    Does cockiness make you better at your job? That's what former Matildas star Lydia Williams was told when she rose to the sport's top flight. Williams joins McCabe to reflect on her journey as a Matilda and how she pushed past being labelled “too humble” at key points in her career.
