Potential issues are being raised with the Government's childcare policy.  

From July, parents and caregivers will be able to claim a maximum of $75 a week for childcare costs.  

Early Childhood New Zealand Chief Executive Kathy Wolfe says it will definitely help people.  

But, she told Mike Hosking, proving eligibility and applying for it may cut off access for some.  

Wolfe says some families don't have computer access to get onto the IRD website.
