Claire Tait, the wife of Hamish Alexander Edward Tait — described as Australia's worst alleged paedophile — has been revealed to be working as a director at a childcare centre, prompting scrutiny of the company's employment practices. The childcare provider, Fit Kidz, has defended her as a "valued employee", even as she has reportedly changed her surname, appearing to move away from the Tait name amid the fallout from her husband's case.

Details in the available report are limited, but it indicates Claire Tait has continued in a senior childcare role despite her husband facing the alleged paedophile allegations that have made headlines in Australia. Fit Kidz's public defence of her position has drawn attention, as has the discovery that she has quietly altered her name, which some may see as an attempt to distance herself from the case.
