Sydney childcare centres caught employing banned workers in national safety blitz

Two Sydney childcare centres were caught employing workers banned from the sector during a national compliance blitz this week. One provider was fined $20,000 for hiring someone prohibited after using inappropriate discipline; another G8 Education service employed a person banned since 2020. Regulators visited over 500 centres to enforce new mandatory screening checks via the National Early Childhood Worker Register.
