Presenter Bio
My name is Rachel Clark and I am the Coordinator of the Midvale Hub Parenting Service. My journey in supporting children and families has been both professional and deeply personal.
I spent 10 years as a Coordinator in Outside School Hours Care, where I developed a strong passion for creating safe, welcoming spaces for children to grow and thrive.
After volunteering my time through the Midvale Hub facilitating community playgroups, I moved into coordinating a variety of community projects, including Swan Family Connect, playgroups in schools, and the Young Parents Study Program, where I was able to continue to support and empower families through inclusive, community-focused programs and build meaningful connections.
After taking a short break, I returned to what I love as a Parenting Facilitator, a role I have held for the past 9 years.
I hold a Certificate III in Children’s Services and Community Services, along with extensive training in a variety of parenting programs that we deliver.
As a parent of twin boys who are nearly 23, I bring both professional knowledge and lived experience to my work. I am deeply passionate about community engagement and take pride in living and working within the local area, fostering strong, supportive relationships with the families I serve.
