How the Program Works

Community hubs are a placed-based people-focused initiative that respond to the needs of the local community. No two hubs look the same because the approach is very localised. The aim of a community hub is to achieve positive outcomes for children, families, schools and the local community.

The support agency provides a dedicated resource that coordinates and supports the local community hub and facilitates links between the hub and local services. A more detailed description of the roles and responsibilities of the support agency can be downloaded here

The host school provides the place for the community hub and is expected to provide a designated space for the hub. The hub is very much an extension of the school, its culture, and the principal and leadership team need to be committed to supporting the hub and the local community.
