The Finance Minister says changes to the FamilyBoost scheme are on their way - after Cabinet made decisions today.
The Government previously said it would announce changes to the childcare tax policy in June.
It's been admitted the number of families initially thought eligible was wrong.
Nicola Willis says there are two changes and they apply to fees incurred from tomorrow - with claims able to be made from October.
"The first is to increase the amount of rebate, which will have the effect that people on lower middle incomes with lower rates of fees will be able to get a bigger rebate."
Willis says the second is to reduce the abatement rate - so families earning more than 140-thousand dollars will be able to claim a bit more.
