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

We are seeking a passionate and capable Hub Coordinator to help bring this innovative model to life.

This is a unique dual-function leadership role that combines:

Your work will ensure families experience the Hub as a single, seamless point of connection for parenting support, early intervention, developmental services and wellbeing supports.
