Joshua Brown faces a significant police investigation, leading to 70 charges, including sexual assault, earlier this year.
The charges relate to eight alleged victims at a Point Cook early education centre.
About 1200 families were also contacted to send their children for precautionary testing for sexually transmitted diseases.
Revelations emerged yesterday that Brown may have worked on more occasions than those listed on the government website.
Initially, Melbourne father Daniel* was unaffected until an updated timeline indicated an overlap between his two-year-old son’s enrollment and Brown’s tenure at a western city centre.
“We didn’t expect it, for us to be involved in it, and when we did find out my heart sank,” Daniel said.
“These are dates that the government weren’t aware of, and yeah, it’s just unfortunate that we had to find out that way,” he told 9News.
Premier Jacinta Allan said the website was being “constantly updated”.
Having not been initially notified by the health department, Daniel states his son was denied the test and had to urgently establish the necessity for his toddler’s testing.
“To make such big mistakes in this, with young children involved between, you know, five months to two years and, you know, to be cutting corners and, …. the communication breakdown has been poor…it’s very disappointing,” Daniel told 9News.
Police are investigating if any alleged abuse occurred at the 19 other facilities he worked at.
Allan has assured parents the government is taking immediate action, yesterday appointing Jay Weatherill to review Victoria’s childcare sector.
“Jay Weatherill is the best person for this work, he is the best person to lead this work,” she said.
But critics have argued the former South Australian premier, who oversaw the worst child protection failure in the state’s history, is not the right fit.
“How on earth can we have confidence that this review will deliver the outcomes that Victorian families need?” shadow education minister Jess Wilson asked.
