International Journal of Child Care and Education Policy

Table 2 Number of children using ECEC services by region, June quarter 2010

ECEC services	Major cities of Australia	Regional and remote Australia
LDC	381,470 (72%)	148,610 (28%)
FDC and IHC	57,020 (54%)	48,650 (46%)

Note. As children might use more than one service type in more than one region, therefore the total number was not equal the Table 1. From “Child care update” (DEEWR, 2011c).
