For 2023, ACA NSW will host Hub Huddles in-person at NSW’s regional centres (ie Coffs Harbour, Newcastle, Central Coast, Wollongong and Dubbo).
Unlike "What's the Buzz" Meetings (formerly ACA NSW’s Network Meetings), Hub Huddles will be in a social and informal format, with food and beverages available in a private space.
Please note that this feature will be free for ACA NSW members. Attendance of non-members is at a nominal fee to cover food and drinks.
Members and non-members can ask and discuss anything, including the following topics, at ACA NSW Hub Huddles:
- Federal Government’s new industrial relations changes
- ACCC Pricing Inquiry
- NSW Government’s fee affordability, accessibility, choice review by IPART
- Labour shortages
- Increases in Child Care Subsidies
- ACECQA’s changes to Assessments & Ratings
- Update on NSW’s Universal Pre-Kindergarten
- Update on NSW’s Childcare and Economic Opportunity Fund
- Update on NSW’s Brighter Beginnings (ie proposed free health & development checks for preschool children)
- Update on NSW’s OSHC/BASC Reform Trials
- Update on NSW’s Child Safe Standards changes
- (New) Start Strong funding, Affordable Preschool funding & 3-Year-Old Trial funding
- Preschool Outcomes Measures
- Fair Work Commission’s annual wage rates increases
- … and more
