The Report of the Senate Education, Employment and Workplace Relations

The timing of the Report coincides with major developments in Australia's
childcare sector. These include the Council of Australian Government's
quality reforms (to be announced on 7 December) and the sale by receivers
of the remaining 705 centres owned by the collapsed operator ABC Learning.

Bids for the purchase of these centres close today.

Sue Lines, Assistant National Secretary of LHMU, the childcare union, is
available to discuss the findings and recommendations of the
Committee, ABC Learning and childcare generally.
