Celebrating Achievement

At G8 Education we are proud to value, celebrate and inspire our team to make positive impacts in children’s lives, and their own.

We are so proud of the amazing work our teams do each and every day and we celebrate that success, through awards, internal recognition and our annual National Conference.

In 2023 we were able to bring our amazing team together for three days of collaboration, learning and re-energising. Thank you to all of our Centre Managers and around centre support teams for embracing the opportunity and reflecting on what it means to belong, inspire and transform with G8 Education!

Community

 

At G8 Education we believe in the power of the individual to do good – in the workplace, within our circle of friends and family, and in the wider community. Over the years we have supported many community initiatives and charities.

Helping others is fundamental to our culture and we aim to instill this in the children we care for and across our teams. We’ve learned that the joy of giving is far greater than receiving, and collectively, the 9,800 passionate and caring people who are part of the G8 family can make a real difference.

Sustainability

 

As one of Australia’s largest providers of early childhood education and care we are in a unique position to encourage environmental awareness and sustainable practices amongst future generations.

We do so by adhering to sustainable practices in our centres, whether it’s by recycling materials, or teaching children about water conservation through activity and play. We’re committed to reducing our carbon footprint and have set ambitious targets to be net positive in our energy consumption by 2025.

Diversity

 

G8 Education is an equal opportunity employer, inclusive for all.  Our workplace is one where we want all of our team to feel they belong.

We encourage applications from people with a disability, from all genders, ages, culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, and the LGBTIQA+ community.

We are proud of our diversity and how our people shape G8 and its impact on the lives of children.
