Better sharing of child protection data between borders must happen urgently, the New South Wales (NSW) premier says, after a childcare worker was charged with 1,623 abuse offences across two states.

Premier Chris Minns said his government was looking at any gaps in the system to strengthen child protection after 23 of the worker’s 87 alleged victims were from a Sydney facility.
