"This may be for a range of reasons including: the other parent could be a full-time student, have a disability, or be working from home such that they cannot supervise the child, or there may be no other adults in the household," a government spokeswoman said.
Permitted workers include nurses, emergency services, some retail staff, meat workers, media and construction workers.Permitted workers can only put their children in care if no other adult is present in the home who can supervise them. Permitted workers can drop their child at a family member's home for care, if it is a pre-existing arrangement.
Meanwhile, childcare educator Amanda, who did not want to give her last name, had her weekly work hours cut from 40 to 20. At a number of centres in Melbourne, staff had been stood down without pay. Parents were critical of the Health Department's implementation of the scheme. The government took until Wednesday evening to release the permission form parents needed to gain access to care, while a detailed list of those considered "permitted workers" went live about midnight.
"If there's anyone out there trying to potentially undermine that, then they're very, very bad choices."The federal government injected an extra $33 million into the Victorian childcare sector on Wednesday, to cover the cost of lost fees as parents are forced to keep their children home.
Soon most households won't have any workers period, just income support recipients and Govt employees funded by the better off that didn't die.
