Labor's Plan to Support Families
Source: Western Australia. ALP Election Policy. Media Release
"Labor recognises that families are under financial pressure in meeting the everyday cost of living. That’s why we introduced the “It Pays to Learn” allowance to support families with 16 or 17 year olds in education or training.
Labor is committed to helping families with the cost of education and training and will:
1. Double the It Pays to Learn allowance for 16 and 17 year olds in school.
2. Increase the It Pays to Learn allowance for 16 and 17 year olds in training.
3. Double the clothing allowance for eligible Year 8 to 12 students."
