Our story
Thriving Futures is a workforce development program that started in the Western Australian Pilbara towns of Newman and Port Hedland in 2020.
Since then, we have expanded to Roxby Downs, South Australia and the Goldfields region in Western Australia.
What we offer
We offer free supported Professional Development, incentives and other benefits in the participating Early Childhood Education and Care Centres.
The Thriving Futures program is available to both qualified Educators and people who are looking to start or advance their career in Early Childhood Education and Care.
Regardless of where you are in your career journey, our mentor team is available to provide phone and online support as well as face-to-face catch ups throughout the year.
Our Project with BHP
In 2020, Child Australia supported by BHP founded Thriving Futures to address the ongoing shortage of child care availability in the Pilbara, Western Australia so that all children can have access to high quality early learning experiences.
