Australia to close childcare centres at 5pm five times yearly for safety training amid abuse scandals.
Australian childcare centres will close at 5pm five times a year for mandatory safety training, part of a $40 million national effort to improve child protection following abuse scandals.
The reforms include banning staff mobile phones, trialing CCTV in 300 centres, creating a national worker register, and implementing real-time criminal record checks using police databases.
The changes follow allegations against a Melbourne worker charged with abusing eight infants across 24 centres.
A final 15% wage increase for childcare workers has helped reduce vacancies.
While the Australian Childcare Alliance supports the safety measures, it urges adequate funding, advance notice for families, and operational flexibility.
