Introduction:
The Belconnen Child and Family Hub is an exciting new pilot initiative bringing together early childhood education and care with integrated, place-based family support services. This is a forward-thinking model designed to reimagine how communities connect with the supports they need, earlier, easier, and in one welcoming place. At the centre of the Hub is the Ginninderra Early Childhood Centre, a vibrant, accessible and trusted space where children and families can learn, grow and connect. As the Hub evolves, it will become a leading example of coordinated, community-led support across Belconnen.

About the Role
