Dr. Helen Russell:

Senator Higgins mentioned the JLCs, which we did not respond to. That is an area where there can be improvements. There is a JLC around wages in the childcare sector, which are particularly low and it is a particularly feminised workplace. There was much talk during the pandemic about trying to bring up the wages of care workers but it has not happened. The action has not followed the talk but it is on the agenda at the moment. It will be interesting to see where that level is set.
