Childcare Consultant, Cairns

Cairns is the regional hub of Far North Queensland and the gateway to the tropical north, with an economy strongly shaped by tourism alongside its role serving surrounding communities. As the major centre for the region, it draws workers and families who need accessible early learning services. Talisha Long supports operators across the full lifecycle, from feasibility and site selection through development approval, provider and service approvals, and operations.

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.
