Commentators argue that childcare safety reforms have not addressed the core problems in early childhood education. Government figures show more compliance actions and a rise in services meeting national quality standards. However, staff waivers remain in use, educators are poorly paid, and about 70 per cent of services are now for-profit. Minister Jess Walsh says the reforms are on track and that 120 services have been put on notice. The writers call for a complete overhaul of the system.
