Childcare Consultant, Geelong

Geelong is Victoria's second city and one of its fastest-growing regions, with strong demand for new long day care across the Armstrong Creek corridor and outer suburbs such as Armstrong Creek, Charlemont, Mount Duneed and the established centres of Belmont, Highton and Newtown. Talisha Long supports operators across the full childcare lifecycle here, from first feasibility study through planning, approvals and into day-to-day operations. She works with both new entrants buying into the growth corridor and established services refining occupancy and quality.

How Talisha helps in Geelong

  • Planning permit and DA pathways for new centres along the Armstrong Creek and outer-Geelong growth fronts
  • Provider and service approval plus CCS approval for new and acquired services, including Building Blocks grant alignment
  • Feasibility and site selection balancing greenfield growth suburbs against established inner Geelong demand
  • Operations, occupancy lift and Assessment and Rating readiness for centres across the wider Geelong region

Local note. Geelong's rapid growth corridor around Armstrong Creek makes site timing and catchment analysis especially important for new childcare projects.

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.
