Baby Fever or Baby Freeze: What's Holding You Back?

Hey there, potential-pondering parents! The birth rate in Australia is at an all-time record low, so if you have major reservations about taking the plunge and either starting or growing a family you are not alone.

Hey there, potential-pondering parents! 

The birth rate in Australia is at an all-time record low, so if you have major reservations about taking the plunge and either starting or growing a family you are not alone. 

From sky-high housing costs, to the eye-watering $12 price tag on a single packet of grated cheese, to early learning fees comparable with private school, there are many financial factors at play.

We know some of the reasons Australians aren’t reproducing at the rates they once did but we want to know YOUR thinking.

We don’t like discriminating but this survey isn’t for you if you’re confident that your decision-making around starting or growing a family is behind you. You get a leave pass!
