In this week’s episode of Digging Deeper, The News continues taking a look at the childcare crisis but from the lens of those working in the industry.
Last week, Nicola chatted with News journalist and mother of two Kate Walters about her experience trying to attain childcare in Shepparton.
This week Nicola discussed the topic with Goulburn Region Preschool Association CEO Ronni Druitt on her perspective of the crisis.
Ronni discussed the systemic struggles that exist within the childcare sector, staff retention and inability for wage and career growth for staff, their waitlists for childcare and how they work, kinder subsidies and what they need from the state and federal government to make it easier.
