Childcare Consultant, Bendigo

Bendigo is a major regional city and service hub for central Victoria, drawing families from surrounding towns into suburbs such as Strathfieldsaye, Kangaroo Flat, Epsom and Eaglehawk as well as the central city. As a regional centre it serves a wide catchment, so understanding how families travel for work and care matters when planning a new service. Talisha Long works with operators across the childcare lifecycle in Bendigo, from feasibility and planning through provider, service and CCS approvals and into operations, occupancy and quality.

One advisor, the entire lifecycle

Most consultants know a few areas. Talisha is the advisor that providers, developers, investors, government bodies and international operators engage for end-to-end feasibility, approvals and delivery across the whole journey, from raw land to a thriving, compliant operation. Almost no one in Australia can credibly claim that span: more than 30 years from the floor to the boardroom, having worked every level from Assistant Educator to Chief Operating Officer.
