Reid supports new child care legislation
Member for Robertson Dr Gordon Reid has welcomed legislation introduced in Federal Parliament to give the Commonwealth the power to cut off funding to child care centres that don't meet the National Quality Standard.
"I welcome the powers that the Federal Government will have to address child care centres that are not meeting standards and putting our youngest Australians at risk of harm," he said.
"As a member of the government, I will continue to support action to improve child care on the Central Coast and across the nation", Dr Reid said.
He said the legislation would allow Commonwealth officers to perform spot-checks without warning to detect fraud and non-compliance across the sector.
