It looks like there are plenty of opportunities in Brisbane right now for anyone seeking to start up a childcare centre.

The newspapers are warning that even though the Federal Government has begun subsidising childcare, wage rises for carers this year will more than wipe out the subsidy. Fees per child in childcare centres are now around $210 per week.

Apparently it’s so hard to get places for children in inner-Brisbane parents are being forced to use more expensive nanny-agencies instead. In inner Brisbane, childcare centres charge $50 per day.

It sounds like there may be a good opportunity for anyone with experience in childcare to start a childcare centre here. Perhaps even a migration business plan?
