Childcare Consultant, Newcastle

Newcastle is the second-largest urban area in NSW and the gateway to the Hunter, a port city with strong residential and industrial growth across suburbs like Hamilton, Mayfield, Charlestown and out toward Maitland and Lake Macquarie. Talisha Long works with operators across the full childcare lifecycle here, from testing a site before purchase through to opening and ongoing compliance. The market mixes established inner suburbs with newer growth pockets, so getting the catchment and approvals right matters.

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.
