Glad we don't have this in the US. Standards of care are not regulated by Federal Govt but by states. I receive Medicare (health care), Medicaid (for Disabled ) and Social Security.

Are there no laws regulating such care where you live? I'm unfamiliar with the specifics of analogous services in the United States, where I live, but my understanding is that these are regulated services and serious shortfalls are criminally prosecuted for negligence and/or abuse. Is that not the case in Australia?

The standard should be the same regardless if it is for profit, non for profit, government, or church based. Standards are intended to safeguard the product or service or end user if something is vital enough to be in a standard than it does not matter who is making the product.

If the government passes a law saying all daycares need sprinklers it doesn't matter what type of daycare. The fire doesn't care and the fire doesn't take it into consideration. Same with seatbelts you can be a heretic a saint, a sinner, a heathen it doesn't matter your ass is going thru that windshield if you don't wear your belt, physics doesn't care.

To summarize I don't see why a religious program shouldn't be held to the same standards. What is good enough for the government is good enough for a church. The law must be an evenhanded as laws of physics are.
