We're here behind the scenes providing the administrative support that helps childcare centres and service based businesses run smoothly, stay organised and focus on what matters most.

​

We believe great support is about more than simply completing tasks, it's about building trusted relationships, being someone our clients can rely on, and working with professionalism, confidentiality and integrity in everything we do.

​

​With a calm, organised and solutions focussed approach, we work alongside our clients to reduce the admin pressure, streamline operations and provide the support they need to focus on what matters.

Hi, I'm Carmel

Founder & the person behind the scenes.

With over 30 years of experience in administration management, including senior Executive Assistant and General Management roles across Australian and global organisations, I bring a wealth of knowledge, professionalism and practical support to every centre and business I work with.

For more than 13 years, I've supported childcare operations and early education teams, and for 3 years I've been running CONNECT Admin Solutions supporting childcare centres and service based businesses behind the scenes. .

​

I understand the unique demands of the sector and the importance of having reliable support you can trust.
