Disturbing reports of mistreatment in childcare centres across Australia have led to new legislative proposals aimed at addressing significant issues within the industry.
Urgent reform in childcare comprises one half of the federal government’s two primary legislative initiatives introduced on July 23, as parliament reconvenes for its second day of session.

Education Minister Jason Clare emphasized the necessity of extensive efforts to “restore trust” in a system that countless parents depend on daily to ensure their children’s safety.

Education ministers will also meet next month to discuss a proposed rollout of CCTV cameras in centres.

“CCTV and its potential role in deterring wrongdoers from committing terrible acts, as well as assisting police investigations,” Clare added.

The legislation to reduce funding is anticipated to be expedited through parliament this week after Opposition Leader Sussan Ley announced the Coalition’s support for the reform, declaring it “beyond politics”.

The Independent Education Union, which represents early childcare teachers in Australia, said it welcomes the proposed reform.

“The IEU supports cutting federal funding from providers that do not prioritise child safety and those that put profits ahead of the children they care for,” said NSW/ACT Branch Secretary Carol Matthews.
