Hear from our team members
Farrar ELC
“It’s a great environment for both children and staff, it’s positive and a very creative area where everyone can share ideas and learn from others. Senior staff are always willing to teach the younger and newer members how things are run. No questions are ever too silly and everyone’s ideas are taken into consideration even with the younger staff and this is a big reason why I like working at Child Australia – because I am never made to feel small. My ideas matter just as much as everyone else’s.”
Ellie, Educator
Nightcliff Campus
“This organisation cares. Staff feel valued. There are no ridiculous expectations for staff and their workload. The staff are friendly and encouraging, which helps you develop your skills as an Educator to your fullest potential. The working environment is the best, you always feel like you are supported and are part of a family. The benefits are good too – the above award wages, convenient working location, free onsite parking, ongoing PD and working in a lovely team.”
