Have you tried paying a decent wage?

No. Didn't think so.

Especially after raising the cost of childcare

Fees go high, Government raises subsidies, fees go high, repeat.

Private childcare centres are scam and harming all taxpayers as well as reducing the quality of learning for the children.

To fix childcare we need to scrap CCS and put funding towards public centres, that can foster community and keep institutional knowledge high by retaining staff.
