【大纪元2018年06月19日讯】（大纪元记者赵琼玉墨尔本编译报导）一项对墨尔本托儿中心花费的分析显示，一些日托平均花费最低的城区，通常也是墨尔本房价最低的城区。专家认为，联邦政府应该控制托儿中心的建设，以缓解城区间托儿中心的不平衡状况。
据都门（Domain ）新闻报导，My Child.gov.au网站对一些城区托儿费用的分析显示，汉普顿（Hampton）每天的日托费用是墨尔本最高的，平均为151澳元；其次是阿马代尔（Armadale）（146澳元）；然后是布莱顿东（Brighton East）（137澳元）。
根据都门集团（Domain Group）的数据，这三个城区的独立住宅价格也远高于墨尔本914,518澳元的房价中位数，它们分别为986,250澳元、211.5万澳元和250万澳元。
墨尔本日托费用最低的城区是凯勒当斯（Keilor Downs），当地每天的日托儿费平均为84澳元，其次是布罗德米德斯（Broadmeadows）（85澳元）和迪尔公园（Deer Park）（86澳元）。这三个城区独立住宅中位价分别为65.75万澳元、54.5万澳元和57万澳元。
但是，在一些房价较低的城区，当地居民的家庭收入中位数通常也较低，他们甚至无法享受到较低花费的托儿服务。
在房价为50万到60万澳元之间的一些城区，包括帕克纳姆（Pakenham）、塔内特（Tarneit）和伯恩赛德高地（Burnside Heights），当地每天的托儿费平均为100－103澳元，与房价在100万澳元或以上的城区如诺斯科特（Northcote）、克莱顿（Clayton）和佛蒙特（Vermont）的日托费用相当。
澳洲幼托联盟（Australian Childcare Alliance）主席蒙多（Paul Mondo）说，新托儿中心通常建在墨尔本北部和西部的远郊城区，但在这些托儿中心满员之前，家长会支付更多的费用，因为托儿中心是根据人头来收费的。
澳洲幼儿协会（Early Childhood Australia ）首席执行官佩奇（Samantha Page）指出，托儿中心的修建是“非常随机的”，开发商经常会根据商业利益最大化的需求来修建托儿中心，而不是根据某个地区的实际需求。
她认为，联邦政府应该控制托儿中心的建设，以缓解城区间的不平衡状况。在一些地区，一些幼儿要等很久才能入托，而其它一些地区的托儿中心则没有足够的生源。
佩奇说，政府将从7月2日起开始实行新的托儿补贴政策，这意味着一些托儿中心需要调整收费，因为政府对每小时收费设定了价格上限。同时，政府将根据一个家庭的收入和其采用的托儿方式，对该家庭提供一定比例的补贴。
因此，许多中低收入的家庭生活将有所改善，但不符合新政规定的家庭将失去托儿补贴。
