Bunnings Trade
Bunnings is Australia and New Zealand’s leading retailer of home improvement and lifestyle products. All It Takes A Village members get access to the Powerpass – an exclusive discount deal on over 10,000 items in Bunnings stores, including items like gardening supplies, storage and cleaning products and arts and crafts supplies. You’ll also get a dedicated account manager to support with quotes, project management and sourcing products.
CCI Services
CCI Services helps not-for-profit organisations save on costs by leveraging their purchasing power – meaning competitive pricing on expenses such as food, stationery, art supplies, janitorial supplies, chemicals, and hygiene and waste services. It Takes A Village not-for-profit members get free membership with CCI Services, including a dedicated relationship manager to help you compare prices, analyse costs and troubleshoot issues with suppliers. You can leverage their pre-negotiated terms to streamline your purchasing – often reducing the number of suppliers you need to deal with – and use their pricing comparisons and analysis to benchmark costs and forecast annual savings. CCI Services also ensures suppliers meet education and care sector standards and compliance requirements. Products can be delivered to rural areas and members receive priority supply during disruptions.
CU Health
CU Health is an employee assistance program that makes it easy for staff to access services and prioritise their health. We’ve teamed up with CU Health to provide It Takes A Village single-site members with discounted rates on healthcare and counselling services for their employees. You’ll skip the joining fee, get a ten per cent discount on all services and access to a no-retainer pay-as-you-go service model with a dedicated account manager to assist you. You’ll also get access to the CU Health digital platform for booking and services.
DreamStoneHR
DreamStoneHR is our preferred partner for navigating the trickiest human resources and industrial relations matters, offering guidance that’s specifically aligned to the real-world challenges you face in the education and care sector. Their support includes expert advice on areas such as compliance with the Fair Work Act, workplace policies and contracts, employee relations – including performance and disciplinary matters – and broader people and culture strategies. It Takes A Village members who are first-time clients have access to 15-minutes of free general HR advice. If you sign up, you’ll get a range of exclusive benefits, including a free HR ‘Health Check’ valued at $150, free resources and tools – including downloadable employment contract checklists, on-boarding templates, performance management and retention guides, and compliance materials – as well as quarterly webinars tailored to common issues in the education and care sector, a discount on access to expert HR consultants, and priority consultation with senior HR advisors.
Guild Insurance
Guild Insurance has provided insurance in Australia for over sixty years and offers insurance policies specifically designed for early childhood and outside school hours care services. It Takes A Village members can pay by the month at no extra cost, access solicitors, and get free risk management advice – as well as convenient online access and 24/7 claims. Guild liability claims specialists can provide you with advice on regulatory obligations in the sector – and when you need legal support, they can engage the services of Meridian Lawyers, Australia’s leading allied health legal defence team.
Personhood360
Personhood360 allows early childhood educators to plan and capture learning stories on a secure online platform. It Takes A Village members get free access to the Personhood360 platform, which uses advanced technology to track each child’s development over time and provide actionable insights that will help guide your decision-making. You’ll get on-boarding and set-up done for you, virtual training and support on how to use the platform, plus free scheduled professional development sessions.
