 Terms of Reference
 
The Committee shall inquire into and report on how the Australian Government can better help families balance their work and family responsibilities. The Committee is particularly interested in:
- the financial, career and social disincentives to starting families;
 
- making it easier for parents who so wish to return to the paid workforce; and
 
- the impact of taxation and other matters on families in the choices they make in balancing work and family life.
