Help Page - NSW Digital Hub


The NSW Digital Hub is a secure, centralised platform designed to help Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) services manage key operational and reporting requirements.
Through the Digital Hub, services can submit data, access available funding programs, and meet reporting obligations with the NSW Department of Education, all within one easy-to-use system.
This streamlined approach helps reduce administrative workload, improve data accuracy, and provide a more efficient way to manage information and funding-related activities.
