Childcare will be free for parents still using it during the coronavirus crisis.
The government will also support the nation's 13,000 childcare centres to remain open in the wake of enrolment and attendance numbers plummeting.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison said child care was an essential service to keep all parents who still had jobs in the current economy in that work.
