Childcare Consultant, Wollongong

Wollongong is the heart of the Illawarra, a coastal city south of Sydney with growth corridors stretching through suburbs like Figtree, Dapto and the northern beaches towards Thirroul. Established neighbourhoods sit alongside newer housing release areas, which shapes where new services make sense. Talisha Long supports operators across the whole childcare lifecycle here, from assessing a site to opening the doors and staying compliant.
