HubWorks review
A broad childcare operations suite for Australian multi-service providers.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026
HubWorks is web-based management software for daycare, preschool, kindergarten, outside-school-hours care and family daycare services. It brings digital enrolments and waitlists, electronic sign-in, attendance tracking, family communication, invoicing, online payments, Child Care Subsidy administration, bookings and reporting into one platform. Parent access is available through a web portal and mobile apps for iOS and Android. Multi-service operators also get centralised waitlists, operational dashboards, staff privileges and audit logs.
The published plans show several ways to match the platform to an organisation’s operating model. Professional costs 779 per service per year when billed annually and includes parent engagement, digital enrolments, waitlists, electronic sign-in, attendance tracking, automated fee collection and online payments. Professional Plus adds a government-registered CCS platform and program planning and learning documentation. Other packages cover centralised waitlist management, CCS automation, online bookings, direct debit, financial and operational reporting, EYLF/MTOP planning and observations, multi-service dashboards, and priority phone, email or live chat support. Package pricing is presented in service-type variants, with quoted costs excluding GST.
HubWorks is strongest where one provider needs to coordinate several services while connecting operational work with family-facing tools. Integrations include Finance One, SAP, Green Tree, Synergy, Pathways, the Child Care Subsidy System REST API, the Services Australia REST API and Payrix. That combination suits operators managing enrolment demand, subsidy processes, payments and reporting across a wider service network. Smaller providers seeking a narrowly focused attendance or communication tool may find its breadth unnecessary, while organisations needing the platform’s multi-service controls, subsidy automation and connected workflows have a clearer reason to choose it.
