["(a)","Data provided by States and Territories complement the data collected by the Australian Government. To avoid misrepresenting child care services, jurisdictions were asked to report on only those data items where the Australian Government was also able to provide data. "]
["(b)","Child care data were not collected for 2012-13. The results for 2012-13 are estimates based on the drop in funded child care services between 2011-12 and 2012-13. The number of State/Territory funded child care services has fallen slightly due to the closed nature of the funding program since 2010-11. NSW does not fund any outside school hours care. For preschools, the count is based on preschool services operating more than 6 hours per day. The 2012-13 count is based only on the core preschool contact hours (data are sourced from the Early Childhood Education and Care Preschool August 2012 Census for community funded preschools and DEC Preschool Mid-Year Census for government preschools). Given this, there is an undercount of preschool services providing extended hours of care for 2012-13. "]
["(c) ","Victoria and the NT do not collect data on non-standard hours of care."]
["(d)","In Queensland, child care data are based on an annual voluntary census, and response rates are variable by service type and over time. "]
["(e)","In SA, all preschools now offer universal access 15 hours, offering non-standard hours of care. Preschools are encouraged to offer back-to-back preschool services to assist parents in country locations who would otherwise be unable to access preschool. The take-up rate is most significant in country locations where to limit access to one session per day over four days per week would make it impractical for children who travel long distances. In these situations children generally access their preschool entitlement of four sessions over two days as opposed to the usual four half days."]
