Bundesheer is expanding summer childcare for 765 small soldiers!
On July 6, 2025, the Federal Army continues his efforts to improve childcare for relatives in service. During the summer months, temporary care is offered for children of employees who can look forward to increasing interest this year.
The care extends over a period of up to six weeks and is aimed at children aged three to twelve. This year, more than 700 children have already registered, which indicates the growing demand. The Federal Army offered places in a total of 32 groups at 20 locations in seven federal states - Vienna, Lower Austria, Upper Austria, Styria, Carinthia, Salzburg and Tyrol. The care was organized in cooperation with a qualified service provider who provides the required infrastructure. This speaks for the long-term tradition of this initiative, which has existed since 2008 to make relatives easier to compatibility of work and family, according to ots.at.
expansion of childcare
In the past, childcare was offered, especially in the federal states of Lower Austria, Upper Austria, Salzburg, Styria and Vienna. Defense Minister Klaudia Tanner underlines the importance of the compatibility of work and family and emphasizes the employer's duty of care. The decline in childcare opportunities over the years has meant that the Federal Army is now expanding in order to meet the growing needs. The initiative is not only temporary, but an ongoing commitment to support families in the service of the Federal Army.Particularly high number of participants were registered in Styria, where childcare is offered in several cities such as Zeltweg, St. Michael, Graz, Feldbach and Straß. Summer care runs from July 1st to August 30th, whereby the children's general meeting has increased constantly in recent years, which proves the attractiveness of this social performance, reports the platform, which the militaeraktuell.at provides.
Family promotion in the Federal Army
The Bundesheer attaches great importance to family -friendly framework conditions. In addition to the temporary care, it also offers the “parent month”, which relatives enable a one -month outdoor exemption during the basic military service. This applies equally to soldiers in active service and training. The facilities for childcare are widespread across Austria and offer year -round offers that specifically respond to the needs of soldier families.
The other initiatives include various support measures during missions abroad, including support, information offers and regular meetings in order to promote the exchange among family members. The measures also include discounts, free tickets for events and the loan of play equipment. All of these offers aim to strengthen the social network of soldiers and to facilitate the compatibility of their professional commitments with family management, as [https://militaeraktuell.at/bundeheer-beruf-und-familie-beser-verbar/) describes.
The positive development in the field of childcare and the initiatives for family support show that the army is determined to be a family -friendly employer and to increase the quality of life of its employees.
