Show Notes
Queenslands child safety system faces a financial crisis, with residential care costs surging to over one billion dollars annually. The system, which houses 2388 children, is an outlier, with explosive growth leading to poor outcomes and high costs. Unlicensed providers care for 750 kids, while only 38 spots are licensed statewide. Experts are investigating demand surge, and senior officials will testify on rising costs and risks. The commission aims to provide recommendations for the government by May to prevent system collapse.
