We’re excited to announce the launch of Hub Insights, an online, interactive dashboard summarising your hub’s activity this year, as well as past years. It provides ‘at a glance’ views of key insights across the four areas of the hubs program – engagement, early childhood, English, and vocational pathways – as well as allowing for further analysis of information about your hub.
Hub Insights was co-designed with hub leaders, school leadership and support coordinators. Some of the things school leaders said they’d like to use insights for included gaining a better understanding of their hub, helping tie hub activity to their broader school plan, and as part of their conversations with hub leaders.
How to use Hub Insights
Navigation and interaction
Your dashboard on Hub Insights has the following pages:
Hub Summary
This is the first page you will see upon opening the dashboard. It gives an ‘at a glance’ view of areas of interest for your hub, including key measures, the four pillars of hubs program, top activities, partners, and service referrals.
Program Insights
Offers the ability to understand your hub’s program activities over time, with a range of measures including number of sessions, adult attendances, child attendances, and volunteer attendances. All this can be filtered by term and program category.
Referral Insights
Offers the ability to understand your hub’s service referrals over time. All can be filtered by term and service referral category.
Detailed Data
This page allows you to view the detailed data as it was entered into Hub Portal. You can select from various views, including activities, partners, and service referrals. Once you have selected which view of the data you’d like to see, you can either explore using filters in the dashboard, or export it to Excel for your further analysis.

Frequency Asked Questions
We co-designed Hub Insights with the hubs network including hub leaders, school leadership, and support coordinators. From these conversations, many of your colleagues told us that they’d like to better understand the ways families are engaging with their hub, be able to share information with advisory boards or school councils, use information in their conversations with hub leaders, and review this information alongside existing resources such as AEDC (Australian Early Development Census) or school enrolment data.
Hub Insights is accessible through https://hubcentral.communityhubs.org.au/, simply click on Hub Insights on the left-hand side menu.
We have made the change from regular reports to an interactive dashboard on Hub Insights because hub leaders asked for insights about their hub that were easier to access, use, understand, and share. Hub Insights can be accessed at any time through Hub Central.

Hub Insights is based on attendance and referral data the is entered into Hub Portal. If your hub has not yet completed its first term, then Hub Insights will not be available. Please check again next term.
Your hub’s dashboard on Hub Insights can be accessed byyour support coordinator and hub leader.
