Service Approval Support

Service Approval is the final regulatory step before your childcare centre can begin operating. As the approval is specific to both the service and its premises, every element of your centre must demonstrate compliance with the National Law and National Regulations. We manage the entire process, from preparing the application and supporting documentation to liaising with the regulatory authority, helping you achieve approval efficiently and open your doors on schedule.

What's Involved

  • End-to-end preparation and management of your Service Approval application
  • Comprehensive review of premises compliance, centre design and operational readiness
  • Assessment of policies, procedures and regulatory documentation required for approval
  • Guidance on Nominated Supervisor, Responsible Person and staffing compliance requirements
  • Coordination with your Provider Approval, Development Approval (DA) and project team
  • Review of indoor and outdoor environments against regulatory requirements
  • Liaison with the regulatory authority throughout the assessment process
  • Management of requests for further information and application amendments
  • Support through approval, final readiness and commencement of operations

How We Help

A strong Service Approval application starts well before lodgement. It requires a clear understanding of how the premises, documentation, staffing arrangements and operational systems will meet the requirements of the National Law and National Regulations.

Talisha works with providers, developers and investors across Australia to manage the Service Approval process from preparation through to approval. Her approach is practical, commercially aware and grounded in real operational experience, helping identify compliance issues early, reduce delays and ensure your service is ready to open with confidence.
