The Albanese Government is set to make childcare the “biggest on budget commitment” as it announces a probe into rapidly rising costs.

Education Minister Jason Clare will introduce legislation to parliament on Labor’s massive election commitment on childcare next week.

The government will launch an ACCC investigation into surging childcare costs as it commits to driving prices down.

Treasurer Jim Chalmers said the government's commitment to drive costs of childcare down would be the largest budget item come October.

The ACCC inquiry will be launched in January next year and is expected to table a report by the end of 2023.
