Parents@Work, Australia’s leading working parent training and coaching specialists, have joined forces with Australia’s leaders in parenting services, Karitane.
This collaboration will offer extra support for families to manage a career and family life using the two complementary strands of parenting coaching expertise coupled with practical parenting support while you return to work.
Emma Walsh, founder and director of Parents@Work said:
“By partnering with professionally qualified parenting experts, Karitane, we continue to build an accessible, safe and trusted learning environment for working parents and their employers. Our partnership with Karitane marks the beginning of a truly supportive relationship for all.”
Grainne O’Loughlin, CEO of Karitane said: “In partnering with the dynamic team at Parents At Work, Karitane is delighted to be able to bring our parenting services into the workplace – making us more accessible than ever to parents returning to work.

Michael Semark, executive search director of Human Resources, comments on the importance of supporting working parents: “As a talent expert, and working very closely with HR leaders, I can see the importance of attracting and retaining key staff.
“This collaboration offers a whole suite of easily accessible programs and interventions that will be a vital part to any wider talent program, giving true competitive advantage.”
Ruth Altman, HR director and consultant, agrees: “These services will enhance an organisation’s employer value proposition, support employee well-being and demonstrate commitment to parents and carers returning to work. A value for money investment for any forward thinking organisation.”
Parents At Work and Karitane will launch a number of exciting initiatives over the coming months, including a webinar titled: Juggling Toddlers and Work – Parenting Tips for Modern Working Parents.
In addition, Karitane and Parents@Work will launch an online learning program providing flexible, interactive and practical tips for parents raising toddlers.
Supporting Toddlers: A Working Parent’s Guide will run as a three part online course over three weeks.
