Misleading MyChild site riles parents | Avoid Internet Scams and ripoffs | Scoop.it

THE federal government website that alerts parents to vacancies in their local childcare centres is often publishing misleading information, prompting complaints from those who have chased places that do not exist

 

The information on the MyChild site has caused confusion because centres are not required to say whether they have waiting lists.

 

''One of the issues parents raise with me is that some childcare services are reporting vacancies on the MyChild website, but when they call the service there is actually a waiting list,'' Childcare Minister Kate Ellis told The Sunday Age.
