A second man is facing child sex offences a day after it was revealed a former childcare worker was hit with more than 70 charges against babies and toddlers.
Joshua Dale Brown, 26, is accused of abusing eight young children aged between five months and two years at a childcare centre in Point Cook.
On Wednesday, it emerged another man, Michael Simon Wilson, appeared in court on the same day as Brown, charged with child abuse material, sex offences and bestiality.
Any alleged connection between the pair is not known and police have not commented on Wilson's case.
Premier Jacinta Allan said she was not aware of the case.
"I've not been briefed and nor indeed would I comment on an active police investigation," she told reporters.
Brown worked at about 20 childcare facilities since 2017, and health authorities have recommended 1200 children get  tested for unspecified infectious diseases as a precaution.
The allegations have prompted the Victorian government to order an urgent child safety review, the creation of a register of all early childhood educators and the bringing forward of a ban on phones in facilities.
The incoming federal ban will be fast-tracked in Victoria to September 26, with fines of $50,000 for childcare centres that don't comply.
Families of children who need testing will be entitled to $5000 payments to cover the cost of parents taking time off, travel and other requirements.
Parents and carers have reported long wait times to access support and health information from a government hotline.
Chief Health Officer Christian McGrath acknowledged the delays but said 1300 families were supported over the phone on Tuesday.
The Victorian Government has ordered the child safety review, which must be completed by August 15, consider making CCTV mandatory in centres.
"It's a deterrent, if nothing else," Ms Allan said.
Brown was not known to Victoria Police until the start of the investigation, and there were no formal complaints against him. He had a valid working with children check.
The checks are in urgent need of an overhaul, according to advocates for sexual assault survivors and children.
Industry body Early Learning Association Australia, the Act for Kids charity and Scouts Australia are among those pushing for nationwide changes.
"We have found that a charge in one jurisdiction - even if it is dismissed - can prohibit an applicant from receiving a card there, but not in another," Scouts Australia Chief Commissioner Brendan Watson said.
"There is little doubt that the protection of children would be enhanced if we had one national system with all jurisdictions' information being shared."
The checks only work if someone has already been found guilty of child abuse, Sexual Assault Services Victoria chief executive Kathleen Maltzahn explained.
"Evidence of abuse or concerning behaviour that hasn't resulted in criminal charges or disciplinary action (should be) considered," she told AAP.
Parent advocate group The Parenthood has ramped up calls for a national early childhood watchdog, while the Greens are pushing for a royal commission into the childcare sector.
State, territory and federal education ministers recently backed a national safety rules overhaul, including stricter conditions around photography and mandatory reporting.
But advocates want more, with Ms Maltzahn calling for a rethink of how centres secure children's bathrooms and potentially introducing a national register for staff.
Federal Early Childhood Education Minister Jess Walsh said the Labor government supported Victoria and NSW pushing ahead with reforms, while the commonwealth worked with all jurisdictions on changes, including nationwide registration.
