I think the first assurance that we should provide parents is that the vast majority of our early childhood education and care providers do meet and exceed our national quality standards, but there is a small group of providers who persistently and consistently breach those standards. Where we have significant concerns, transparency for parents is really important, and it is provided for in the bill. We have greater publication powers with this bill than we've had before. The secretary is able to publish on our enforcement action register when CCS approval is being dealt with under this legislation. The secretary will also have a wider range of powers to publicise the broader range of compliance actions that are being taken in relation to CCS.
