Australia's introducing stricter measures across its childcare centres in efforts to better protect young children.
CCTV cameras will be trialled at more than 300 centres - with work also commencing to develop a national register of childcare workers.
It follows child sexual abuse allegations surfacing against one Victoria worker.
Australia correspondent Oli Peterson told Heather du Plessis-Allan that some states have already banned personal mobile phones in centres.
He says you've got to give the state and federal governments credit here for reacting to the situation and trying to beef up regulations as quickly as they could.
