G8 Education has confirmed it will suspend operations in approximately 40 services across Australia as part of the early childhood education and care (ECEC) provider\u2019s ongoing focus on long term sustainability and the delivery of high-quality outcomes for children and families. <\/p>\n

G8 Education Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director Pejman Okhovat said the decision reflects the responsibility of one of Australia\u2019s largest ECEC providers to adapt to a changing operating environment, with the safety, rights and best interests of children as the paramount consideration. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a responsibility to operate sustainably and responsibly, in a way that delivers the best possible outcomes for families and supports children to grow, thrive and learn in safe and supportive environments,\u201d Mr Okhovat said. <\/p>\n

\u201cOur immediate focus remains on supporting families to transition to one of our nearby centres and redeploying team members, where possible.\u201d <\/p>\n

The ECEC sector is experiencing unprecedented change and uncertainty, driven by a combination of socio and macro-economic factors, including evolving family demand and lower birth rates and changing operating conditions. <\/p>\n

Mr Okhovat said that G8 Education is continuing to work closely with the relevant regulators in each State and Territory throughout the process. <\/p>\n

G8 Education will then consider longer term options for those centres including lease surrender, divestment or other alternative. <\/p>\n
