Louise Dunham

Louise established Placement Solutions in 1988. Since then she has been supporting the industry in many ways. She is the author of “The State of The Nanny” and created “Just Family Nanny Payroll Services” to provide better options for nanny payroll. Louise has served on the Australian Federal Senate Steering Committee that wrote the In-Home Child Care Standards and is the past Vice President of the Australian Home Childcare Association. In 2016 Louise organized and sponsored the conference “NannyPalooza Oz” run with Sue Downey. In 2018 Louise was the recipient of APNA’s (Association of Premier Nanny Agencies) Agency Excellence and their Lifetime Achievement Award. In 2021 Placement Solutions acquired Rogan Family Care, started ÃÛÌÒÓ°ÏñChapter Meetings in Australia and received a Federal Grant in order to run educational events.

Louise is extremely knowledgeable with 34 years’ experience in this sector. She is a passionate advocate for the need for In-Home Child Carers to be developed and recognized as childcare professionals and to be legally paid and supported and with a valuable role to play within the greater childcare sector. Louise believes very strongly that it is not enough to just join an organization, but you must work within that organization to bring about improvements and changes within that industry. This is particularly pertinent to an industry that must keep children safe as its main purpose.
