The three-day guarantee will begin from January next year after the senate approved the Labor's change to the childcare subsidy, abolishing the activity test.

Rural reporter Alexander Nimmo caught up with Royal Far West Chief Executive Jaqui Emery to discuss what this means for regional and remote families.
