#2: If we ran the sector...

What would change if Barbi and Jamie took over education and care in Australia? In this episode, we flip the lens - instead of fixing within a broken system, we reimagine one that works. From rethinking educator roles and funding models, to who we attract into the profession and why - this is a blueprint built from the ground up. We challenge existing norms and propose changes that prioritise children first and foremost. You will hear us talk OSHC, ECE, funding models, child safeguarding, RTO quality, the myth of "qualified" professionals, and what gets in the way of real transformation. It’s vision setting, not problem solving. "You’re not just part of a broken system - you’re part of a system that’s never been designed by you."
