Victoria's new childcare regulator, the Victorian Early Childhood Regulatory Authority (VECRA), has suspended operations at 45 family day care residences across Melbourne operated by Gabow Family Day Care. The closure follows an inspection that identified multiple violations, including unqualified educators and non-compliance with regulations. Gabow has been given 90 days to address these issues before facing potential further action. The regulator emphasized the importance of adhering to national standards to ensure child safety and has warned other providers to comply with legal requirements. This marks the first instance where VECRA has taken such action against a childcare provider.
