Summary
Queensland’s child care system is in crisis as record numbers of kids under five are stuck in residential care, sparking urgent calls for reform. The government has pledged $200 million over 30 months to overhaul what’s been called a “broken” system, accepting most of a damning inquiry’s recommendations — but critics say the timeline is too slow. Since 2019, not a single child has been adopted from state care, and the surge in youngest kids in custody is alarming. Child safety workers are sounding the alarm, staging vigils to demand faster action — because no child can wait.
