The ParentsNext program helps parents plan and prepare for employment before their youngest child starts school. The government is committed to this program. The national expansion of ParentsNext has helped more than 93,300 parents to plan and prepare for employment by the time their children turn six. Since then over 25,000 parents commenced education, 15,200 parents commenced employment and over 1,300 parents exited due to stable employment. The ParentsNext 2016-18 evaluation report showed that participating in the trial generally increased parents' attitude to work, wellbeing and their chances of being in study or finding work.
