Each year, CareforKids.com.au helps millions of Australian parents find a workable solution to their child care needs.
Whether a family is looking for work-friendly hours, budget-friendly days or a convenient commute, our site makes it easy to search for, and secure, a great child care fit.
Now, we’re pleased to report that CareforKids.com.au is partnering with Circle In to help more parents manage work and family life.
Here, we explain what this exclusive joint venture means for working mums and dads.
What is Circle In?
Circle In is a leading ‘fam-tech’ business that supports more than 170,000 families around the world to succeed in their dual roles as care-givers and employees.
Circle In works with many well-known companies (including Medibank, Cotton On Group, VISY, Estée Lauder Companies, L’Oréal Australia and Officeworks) to ensure that their staff strike a happy balance between work and child-raising.
Its digital platform provides parents and care-givers with access to information, inspiration, tools and support to help them feel connected, productive and well at work, and there’s guidance for managers and HR, too.
All in all, Circle In Co-Founder, Kate Pollard says, ‘We enable companies to re-imagine care-giving and position themselves as a family-friendly organisation.’
How can CareforKids.com.au help?
Access to reliable, affordable, quality child care is key for working families, and the new partnership between CareforKids.com.au and Circle In means that Australia’s number one child care search comparison platform has integrated with the Circle In digital platform to put more child care choices in the hands of workers.
Ms Pollard says, ‘This partnership means Circle In families will now have access to many highly sought after features of Careforkids.com.au directly from the Circle In family platform.’
CareforKids.com.au CEO, Arthur Charlaftis, is excited about this partnership and says, ‘With many Australians struggling to balance the competing demands of work and family life, it made sense to bring our leading programs together and create the most comprehensive family support solution in the market.’
Mr Charlaftis recognises that, ‘Assessing and applying to child care providers is a huge pain point for many parents wanting to return to work or re-locate, so this partnership will make it easy for parents to search, shortlist, enquire and book a child care service, all in one place.’
From the employer’s point of view, this partnership gives organisations a simple and convenient tool to attract, retain and support working parents throughout each stage of a care-giver’s journey.
In this way, the joint venture between CareforKids.com.au and Circle In is a win-win for everyone at the participating organisations, and we’re looking forward to helping a great number of parents find the right child care for their career.
