Aurukun Child Care and Family Support Hub
The Aurukun Child Care and Family Support Hub is located on the Aurukun State School site. This hub includes a 29 place long day care service, a 25 place State Pre-school and the provision of family support, parenting support and child protection and community meeting space. The hub is being progressed as a Department of Families strategy under the Cape York Partnership.
Construction of the Aurukun Child Care and Family Support Hub was a joint initiative of the Department of Families and the Commonwealth Department of Family and Community Services, and Education Queensland contributed the funds for the Pre-school component of the facility.
Operational funds are provided through the Remote Area Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Child Care (RAATSICC) Program. The Commonwealth will be providing additional funding to operate the centre.
