Victoria to establish state register of childcare workers within weeks, Jacinta Allan says | Australia news

Victoria’s Prime Minister said that children’s care arrangements were “not working, and after claiming that Pedophil Joshua Dale Brown was fired from more than one center, the state’s registration of child care workers would be established within weeks.

Jacinta Allan said on Monday that there is a need to strengthen both the state and the federal regulations.

“There are clear systems that do not work,” he said.

Wallaboy Childcare was the last center to confirm that Brown’s employment ended during the audit period after working for five weeks between April and May 2021.

Last week, Nido Early School, after saying that he dismissed Brown only 18 days later at Werribe Center in July 2021, after allegedly violating the company’s internal policies to address the incident reports.

While working for Wallaby or Nido, Brown doesn’t claim that he is uncomfortable with children.

Vocational therapy for children in Footscray dismissed Brown after working 26 days with a non -clinical executive team in March 2024, because “it was not a good harmony”, confirmed the program director at the beginning of this month.

Meanwhile, while Brown’s older children care provider was working for G8 Education, the allegations of Victoria Police, Children and Youth Commission (CCYP) and 2023 and 2024 were reported to the Educational Department.

However, the agencies directed the issue to G8 education for internal investigation and disciplinary penalties. The company confirmed both claims.

Typically, this finding will trigger the control examination of working with children, but on Saturday, ABC reported that CCYP uses optional forces to raise Brown’s case and allowed it to continue to work in child care.

Allan refused to comment on the features of the Brown case or the decision taken by the independent regulator ”. However, working with children’s checks, former South Australian Prime Minister Jay Weatherill and senior bureaucrat Pamela White will be included in the child care sector, he said.

The Prime Minister also confirmed that Brown had a registration of a state -based child care worker who announced that he would be established until the end of August after being opened to the public at the beginning of this month. Finally, a national registry that Federal Education Minister Jason Clare committed last week will be absorbed.

“This is just a discreet measure. Yes, it should have already been present… There has been a discussion at the level of national, federal state ministers for a while,” Allan said.

“We act to bring this immediately… And there is more work to be done. There are systems that need to be strengthened. I absolutely accept this.”

On August 15, the authority repeated that he would accept all proposals for Weatherill and White Review.

Allan, “In case of more action to keep children safe, I want to explain that we will definitely do this,” he said.

In May, 26 -year -old Brown was accused of more than 70 crimes against eight alleged victims who were five months and two -year -old. The case was opened to the public after a pressure order was abolished on July 1. In the first stages of the criminal case and not yet a defense.

Since then, the police have found that Brown has been working in 23 Children’s Care Center and Vocational Therapy, and more than 2,000 children asked to be tested for sexually transmitted infections.

Police said that the establishment of Brown’s full working history was “extremely complex” because child care providers do not have central records. “They are likely to have more updates in the coming weeks”.
