A Labor government would expand out of school hours care at 10 more Tasmania schools as part of a cost-of-living focus, leader Rebecca White says as she rallies her party in the lead up to the next state election. The 10 schools would be selected through an expressions of interest process and the total one-off cost of the expansion would be $900,000 with each chosen site given a $90,000 grant. The policy is part of Labor's parent's package and the party would work with local communities to understand where the need for more childcare is greatest. "Currently a lot of parents cannot access the care they need for their children which limits their ability to hold down a job and earn the income they need," Ms White said. "This will allow parents to go back to work sooner or take on more hours during the cost of living crisis. "It is in our DNA to support workers. We want to see more people in secure jobs." Also included in the parent's package would be financial help to schools to make sure every child could go on excursions and parents would be able to pay school fees and uniform costs quarterly and with payment options including direct debit. Ms White said Labor would also construct 1000 build-to-rent properties over five years and provide better access to healthcare near where people live. She said Labor also supported the government's plan to build 10,000 houses over the 10 years and would push on with the program if elected to government. "Many people cannot afford to see a doctor and end up sicker or in the emergency department of our major hospitals," she said. "We would upgrade our 18 regional hospitals to provide access 24/7 for the kind of illnesses and injuries which can be treated by a nurse practitioner. "People need to be able to access health care close to home without worrying about how they are going to pay for it." She said the focus of Labor's push towards getting elected next year was on cost of living issues. "We will be announcing policies and have much more to say on how to help Tasmanians," she said. Ms White said Tasmanians were telling her they are looking for change. "If you look at this government it looks nothing like the government they elected," she said. "We are getting candidates out there and getting organised. These candidates are ready to step up be good ministers in a good government. "The Liberals seem to have run out of ideas, run and of puff and I think run out of time." Labor has announced five candidates in Braddon and will introduce two more soon. Current MPs Shane Broad and Anita Dow will stand along with McCains worker and union delegate Sam Facey, business owner Adrian Luke and Burnie councillor Chris Lynch who stood for Labor in the last Federal election
