Australian childcare operator to install CCTV after abuse claims
Published: 7/9/2025

Australian childcare operator G8 Education will implement CCTV cameras in over 400 centers following child abuse allegations. The move comes after a former employee faced charges, including child rape, involving eight children in a Melbourne center. This decision aims to enhance transparency and child safety, but experts warn that CCTV alone may not prevent abuse and stress the importance of proper management and safeguards in childcare settings.
