Childcare Consultant, Port Macquarie

Port Macquarie is a fast-growing lifestyle area on the Mid North Coast, drawing both young families and retirees, with nearby localities like Wauchope and the coastal suburbs around the Hastings adding to its reach. That mix of family and retiree growth shapes a distinctive local market for early learning. Talisha Long supports operators across the full childcare lifecycle here, from testing a site through approvals and into day-to-day operations.
