I have a further question on CE workers. Ms Karen O'Sullivan said some of the funding was in order to replace CE workers with qualified child care workers. Many of the CE workers love working in child care and would love to upskill and become child care workers. Is the only option for them to go and do a course in a college of further education or is there a way for them to upskill and stay in the community service as some of them would like to do that?
