ARC
The Hub Program
A hub is up to five people (five is the firm maximum) who run something together. There are three kinds, they are all built the same way, and the members who build them earn ARC credits.

Build something together that becomes an asset for ARC.
A Collaboration Hub brings members together around a shared capability, service, opportunity or project. The aim isn’t simply to create another group — it is to build something useful that can grow, deliver better outcomes for clients and members, and expand the value of the ARC network.
Build an assetTurn the skills, knowledge and relationships of members into something bigger than any one member could build alone.
Expand ARC’s valueEvery useful Hub adds capability to the network, making ARC more valuable to its members.
Attract more peopleStronger capabilities and better services give more people a reason to join ARC.
Provide better serviceBring complementary specialists together to deliver a more complete solution.
Create opportunitiesDevelop projects, services and commercial opportunities from what members can contribute.
There is no cash investment required to get started. Collaboration Hubs are built around the contribution of the people involved — their skills, time, knowledge, relationships and capability.
The Hub is fully structured through ARC, so the people involved understand how the Hub operates, how contributions are recognised, how work flows through the Hub and how members earn ARC credits for what they contribute.
Every Collaboration Hub has a Facilitator who helps bring the right people together, keeps the Hub moving, supports collaboration and maintains the Hub’s record.
Bring good people together → build something useful → create value → grow the capability → create more opportunities.
Every hub walks the same five stages, E through to A. Each one opens when the last is done.
Members who take part in building ARC earn ARC credits. ARC credits are a credit to use within ARC. They are not profit share, and they are never transferred or paid out for cash.
How you’ll be able to use your ARC credits inside ARC is coming soon.
Please note: ARC credits will be valid once the ARC credits program is approved. Until then, any credits shown are a record of your participation.
To see what earns ARC credits, the credit levels, and how reaching 2,000 credits lets you join your Specialty Hub, read Learn about the Hub Program.
When work comes to a Hub, it comes through ARC and is delivered by the Hub. ARC manages the client relationship and the work, while the Hub provides the people and capability to deliver it. This means Hub members are part of the team the work came to, rather than being referred to it.
As a Hub grows and more work comes through it, the opportunity is to build another Hub from the people and experience within it. The people who helped build the original Hub can help the next group get started. ARC recognises the people who build the network with ARC credits — you are not simply building a Hub, you are building something that can keep growing.
