Women in Work is a mobile childcare service tailored to your needs.
Strong and safe communities start with positive first connections.
We know that a lack of childcare excludes many parents from accessing essential programs and services. Women in Work's certified, mobile childcare team creates safe and interactive play spaces, giving parents the emotional space they need to focus on important conversations.
Who we work with
We provide a flexible mobile childcare service for organisations and programs that support parents and families experiencing disadvantage, including:
- Family violence prevention services
- Parent pathways programs
- Access to the justice system
- Job mentoring programs
- Migrant and refugee settlement
- Workforce productivity
- Access to healthcare
How we can support you
We bring childcare to you - in your office, community centre or event.
With just 48 hours' notice, a culturally aligned childcare professional can be on site, fully equipped to manage children's play and development needs.
We can boost program participation and event attendance. Our team will take care of little ones onsite, so parents and families can take part in programs worry-free.
Our certified educators are trained to create safe, nurturing spaces for vulnerable children, working one-on-one or in groups.
