2019 Year in Review

Across Australia, more than 500 organisations come to hubs to provide programs to families who might otherwise be hard to reach. In addition the Australian Government provided two critical pieces of funding in 2019 to increase service provision in two areas: conversational English, and child minding. This has resulted in a huge increase in the number of women learning English and developing work skills across our network.
