Why parents are kept in dark about alleged abusers at childcare providers
However, finding out the specific centres and dates he worked, and whether his child had crossed paths with the abuser, was an uphill battle.
In Victoria, thousands of parents were told their children may have been exposed to sexually transmitted diseases while attending daycare centres where Victorian childcare worker Joshua Dale Brown worked.
Meanwhile, parents who sent their children to an early childcare centre in Sydney where a worker was last week charged with seven counts of using a child to make abusive material remain in the dark.
The childcare centre cannot be identified because a court order was put in place to prevent 'psychological harm' to his alleged victims, including those yet to be identified by detectives.
Parents are demanding more transparency over allegations and investigations into childcare workers, arguing restrictions may be protecting abusers and hindering more victims from being identified.

Albanese Government's first bills tackle childcare safety regulations, student debt reform
The Albanese Government has introduced its first bills of the new term to slash student debt by 20 per cent and to tighten early childhood safety regulations by stripping funding from childcare centres that fail to meet minimum standards. While student debt relief was a pledge Labor took to the Federal election campaign, the introduction of tougher child protection laws was spurred by national shock over the arrest and charging of alleged paedophile Joshua Dale Brown. Mr Brown, who was able to work across 23 childcare centres, has been charged with dozens of offences including alleged sexual assault, producing child abuse material and contaminating food with his bodily fluids. Since his arrest, more than 2,000 families have been urged to test their children for sexually transmitted infection, and faith has crumbled in the childcare vetting system. Introducing the draft legislation to the House of Representatives on Wednesday morning, Education Minister Jason Clare stressed the purpose of the bill was 'not to shut childcare centres down' but to 'raise standards up.' Under the bill, care providers could have their Childcare Subsidy (CCS) funding blocked over a single breach on quality standards, Mr Clare confirmed to the ABC. 'This will give us the power to issue a show cause notice to a centre and say we will shut it within 28 days unless they meet that minimum standard,' he said. He told Parliament that the move was 'not about leaving parents stranded without care for their children because of fixable or minor shortcomings at their service. But this legislation is also not an idle threat to services.' The Coalition have signalled broad support for improving safety at childcare centres but has raised concerns about the proposed mechanism to do so, while the Greens have called for the Government to bolster its plan by creating a national watchdog. Jess Walsh, the Federal Minister for Early Childhood Education, told ABC Radio National Breakfast the legislation would give the Government a 'tough new lever to make sure that children are kept safe in our early learning settings,' by taking funding from providers who put child safety ahead of profits. She said it was aimed at 'serious repeat offenders' who 'persistently and consistently fail' to meet the National Quality Standard. 'We can start by issuing a show-cause notice as to why that provider, that service, should maintain their Commonwealth funding through the Child Care Subsidy. And we can make that show-cause notice public,' she said. 'We think that is a really strong step that will drive change. At that point, we think that those providers who are doing the wrong thing regularly will make the investments that they need to keep our children safe.' Senator Walsh said families would be notified about repeat offenders, adding that the Federal Government would be working together with state authorities on a broader child safety package. This would include the first-ever nationwide register of early childhood educators and mandatory safety training. 'We also want to provide much more transparent information to parents, so they know what the quality is and whether there are any issues in the services that they're thinking about or currently sending their children to,' she said.

‘Critical' children's commissioner role ‘needs to be filled with urgency'
The critical role of Commissioner for Children and Young People must be filled urgently, the Victorian government says, despite leaving the role vacant for more than three months before the state's most serious childcare safety crisis erupted. Deputy Premier and Education Minister Ben Carroll also said the state's rapid review into the childcare sector would look into the government's failure to heed the former commissioner's warnings on child sexual abuse over several years. This masthead revealed on Wednesday that Victoria's former commissioner for children and young people, Liana Buchanan, had long predicted in her warnings to the government that the continued underfunding of a vital oversight scheme administered by the Commission for Children and Young People (CCYP) would result in the abuse of children. Substantiated allegations the man at the centre of Melbourne's childcare crisis, Joshua Brown, had acted violently toward children in his care were reported to the Reportable Conduct Scheme for review but were not escalated to a suspension of his working with children check. Brown now stands accused of abusing eight preschoolers at a Point Cook childcare centre in 2022 and 2023, with more allegations being investigated in a case that has prompted authorities to call for thousands of children to be tested for sexually transmitted infections. Responding on Wednesday morning to revelations about Buchanan's warnings, Carroll said the rapid review, led by former South Australian premier Jay Weatherill, will 'look at everything'. 'My understanding is that they will look at everything,' Carroll said. 'Lizzie Blandthorn, the minister for children, the premier, have all said we're going to implement all the recommendations, and if it does include changes to the system around families, children, the reportable conduct scheme, for example, yes, certainly we'll accept those recommendations and make those changes.'
