Welcome to Parents At Work
Supporting people to thrive at work and home
Parents At Work is a membership-based organisation providing work + family education and policy advisory services.
We bridge the work and home divide by embedding flexibility, wellbeing, parental transition and wider caring services to enable workplaces and their people to thrive.
Since 2007, we have provided over 150,000 families globally with vital family, career and wellbeing services delivered via our digital Work + Family Hub, Coaching & Training programs.
Our membership is made up of organisations committed to being an employer of choice for families. As a social enterprise, we partner with UNICEF and other human rights agencies to improve gender equality and work life wellbeing outcomes.
We are part of global people and culture advisory group Changing Places providing leadership, work life design and career management services.
Australia’s leading agencies dedicated to supporting families have joined forces to highlight the important need for the business community to understand and respond to the real challenges facing working families through the COVID 19 crisis and beyond – to help them ‘bounce back’ to build a stronger, more sustainable way of working and caring for family.

Testimonials
This is an outstanding service that working parents should take advantage of when returning to work after a break. This will help you get perspective & work through any challenges that are unique to you. My Coach was wonderful - patient, caring and practical
I had been back at work after having my first baby for seven months when I realised I needed some additional support and engaged Parents At Work for three coaching sessions. These were brilliant; my Coach provided a different perspective and challenged my existing thinking in how I approached my career, work, family and self.
We have received extremely strong feedback about the Parents at Lendlease program delivered by Parents at Work for both our female and male employees. The one on one coaching has been extremely successful offering our employees a personalised service to focus on their career and juggling the challenges of family and work.
I was given some great tools and guidance for getting over these "hurdles". I can't recommend this coaching program enough for new, or seasoned parents, or parents to be.
Thank you for the awesome program. It helped me realise other mums have the same challenges, helped me lift the constraints I have been placing on myself & gave me tools to make it happen such as using positive language when negotiating flexibility, getting mentors, taking action and networking. Thanks for the kick start.
