Bub Hub Blue Mountains Inc is a non-profit organisation providing alternative and flexible childcare solutions in the Blue Mountains. Since 2022, we have been delivering a co-working with onsite childcare service, which is made possible through local partnerships with other childcare and community services and though donations from local businesses, charities and non-profit organisations. This is a grassroots initiative and we are committed to creating a service and space of connection, community and care.
In Australia, the childcare system is undervalued and under stress, a situation that has been exacerbated by the post-pandemic recovery period. The pandemic also showed that alternative work-family arrangements are possible. Many advocates are now campaigning for new ways of working that centre the needs of families especially primary carers, and their children. We are part of this change.
