About the Opportunity
Join Hire for Baby – Mernda & Doreen
Looking for a flexible, low-overhead business with strong local demand and fast return on investment? Hire for Baby Mernda & Doreen offers an ideal opportunity for stay-at-home mums, career returners, or semi-retirees seeking a reliable second income that can grow over time.
Hire for Baby has supported Australian families for over 35 years, providing trusted baby equipment and essential safety services. As a local operator, you’ll supply clean, safe and high-quality baby gear — including capsules, car seats, prams and cots — to new parents, grandparents and visiting families. These products generate repeat bookings, strong word-of-mouth referrals and predictable income.
This business is designed to be easy to start and quick to return income. With low setup costs, minimal overheads and the ability to operate from home, many operators see revenue flowing within the first few months. Regular hires, ongoing customer needs, and add-on services such as car seat fittings help create consistent cash flow rather than one-off sales.
Mernda and Doreen are high-growth, family-focused areas, with new housing developments, young families moving in, and limited local competition. This creates strong demand for trusted, local baby services — particularly those that save families time and money.
You don’t need prior business experience. You’ll receive full training and ongoing support, including systems, safety training, marketing tools and mentoring. National brand recognition, established supplier relationships and centralised marketing help drive enquiries directly to your area, reducing the need for heavy advertising spend.
Most operators start part-time — working school hours or a few days per week — and scale as demand grows. This flexibility makes the business ideal for those wanting income without sacrificing family time, or for semi-retirees seeking meaningful work with financial return.
If you’re looking for a practical, proven business with strong ROI potential, lifestyle flexibility and genuine community impact, Hire for Baby Mernda & Doreen is a smart local opportunity.
