‘New childcare minister pledges crackdown on shonky operators’

Our early childhood educators are amazing, skilled professionals who devote themselves every day to the wellbeing and development of the children in their care.

Many educators have told me they feel deeply betrayed by practices that undermine the integrity of their work.

And while the overwhelming majority of providers are meeting and exceeding standards, our Government will not stand for providers who prioritise profit over child safety.

That’s why we’re working shoulder to shoulder with states and territories and cracking down on dodgy operators.

So parents can feel confident their children are safe, supported, and receiving the quality early education they deserve.
