I live in the border town of Barham( NSW).
My daughter has a new baby and is struggling to cope in lockdown in Melb.Can I visit to help her.Her partner is a shift worker
If my daughter needs to work & has a 3 & 1 year old Dies this mean I cannot care for my grandchildren & so does half the country not work if they have small children ????
Lease clarify authorised workers
Grandparents are not mixing with other children. Childminders are. Grandparents know the needs of the children. Childminders don’t. Grandparents only interact with the parents of the grandchild. Childminders interact with their own family and family of the other children they mind. Who is the bigger risk…the grandparent or the Childcare worker?
I think if grandparents are vaccinated this rule should be eased and they should be allowed to care for grandkids. This will ease mental strain and stress on parents.
My grandson has been staying with me. Can my wife and I take him home within our lga?
