ACT Government Responds to High Rate of Serious Incidents in Childcare Services

In a recent blog post on this year's Report on Government Services, I mentioned that the ACT had the highest number, of all jurisdictions, of serious incidents reported per 100 services (for 2019-20). The RiotACT! website interviewed the ACT Education Minister on this issue who said "One of the things we have in the ACT within our early childhood sector is a really good culture of reporting, and that is important so we can address some of the issues that might arise in our early childhood education centres,”. I am not sure whether that means ACT services are over reporting or there is under reporting in other jurisdictions.
