Tuggeranong Family Action formed to meet the child care needs of the Tuggeranong Valley.

Will pay for four medical scripts under our crisis support program and ensure people can continue to get their essential medication. Will pay for two free shops in the community pantry, putting food on the table for someone in need for at least two weeks. Will give someone in need four free shops in our community pantry to shop for food and essential items for at least a month.

My son has been attending his centre now for just over a year and we couldn't be happier!
Cherie (the director) from point of contact has been wonderful to converse with and the educators really took the time to get to know my son and how to work with his big emotions.
We have enrolled our daughter for next year and are very excited to spend a few more years at the centre.

Our family loves Richardson Child Care & Education Centre. We've been attending since 2014 and find the educators to be so caring and dedicated. The educators design creative activities to engage and nurture the children and work with the family to build strong relationships. Our kids who have left the centre still enjoy going back to see the educators when we pick up our youngest.

I moved to Canberra 4 months ago and got a job at Communities@Work as an educator. The Centre is awesome! The team I work with are friendly and competent. Also, they have various cultural backgrounds, just like me, which makes the experience even more enriching! My babies are sooo cute and smart too! I love working there! : )

I went to an afternoon tea for volunteers at Communities @ Work a few months ago and hardly any one spoke to me except for one nice young man but apart from him I was completely ignored. I only volunteered at Communities @ Work for a short time. I left because I felt stressed, the conditions were "freezing" and I felt under appreciated.
