Sydney childcare centres caught employing banned workers in national safety blitz

Two Sydney childcare centres were caught employing workers banned from working with children during a national safety blitz this week. One provider was fined $20,000 for hiring someone prohibited after using inappropriate discipline, while G8 Education's service employed a worker barred since 2020. The crackdown follows high-profile abuse cases and implements a new mandatory National Early Childhood Worker Register.
