Another successful Hub Huddle at the Central Coast

On Monday, 20 March 2023, ACA NSW hosted another successful Hub Huddle at the Central Coast with local Approved Providers and senior staff, and again with two special guests from the NSW Department of Education (including the head of all Authorised Officers - Nicholas Backo).

In the context of the current and very real challenges faced by services as well as sector fatigue, topics discussed included the proposed changes in A&R, worsening labour shortages, service viabilities, regulatory rigidity, more changes (eg the EYLF v2.0) and also Authorised Officers.

Feedback from those who attended included:

• "Very happy with the range of topics and the representatives available."
  
• "The Hub Huddle brought together representatives that were able to discuss a broad range of topics and provide insight into direction and foreseeable pathways of the sector. I enjoyed having a space to connect with other local providers and share experiences and knowledge."
• "Awesome time, informative relaxed and enjoyable."

ACA NSW very much appreciates those ACA NSW members and non-members who attended. And we look forward to hosting the future Hub Huddles in Wollongong, Dubbo, Newcastle, Coffs Harbour and Central Coast in 2023.
