ACT After-School Care Providers Under Scrutiny

Regulatory documents have exposed serious issues at ACT's major after-school care providers, including supervision failures, injuries, and claims of profit-driven budget cuts at TeamKids and Camp Australia.

Regulator documents have revealed concerning practices at TeamKids and Camp Australia, two of ACT's largest after-school care providers. The reports detail supervision failures leading to missing children, numerous injuries, and allegations that budget cuts are being driven by profit motives rather than child safety considerations.

The findings raise significant questions about the oversight of out-of-school care services in the territory, with advocates calling for immediate review of both providers' operations and increased regulatory scrutiny to ensure children's wellbeing is prioritized over financial interests.
