Love them with us - G8 Education

There is no ‘one way’ to love your child – and we know it’s never easy to leave them. But with life being so busy for families, we can help to support that love, with our qualified educators offering incredible care across our 460 centres nationwide.

Our child care programs are designed around seven key learning foundations, and tailored to your child’s interests. With consistent educators from six weeks to six years, children can maintain their routines and friendships from the day they arrive until they are school ready.

Whether you spend most of your day at work, at home, or a bit of both, your children will thrive in our environments. We offer extended hours to suit your schedule, with options to make the most of your child care subsidy.

What’s a virtual tour?

A virtual tour gives you a guided virtual tour walk-through on your chosen device (desktop, mobile or tablet) of your desired centre directly by the Centre Manager. This gives you the opportunity to tour the centre if you are out of area or for whatever reason in your busy schedule time doesn’t allow you to attend in person. You can then always follow-up by doing an in-person tour.

We encourage and recommend families to book a tour for your desired centre so you can get a feel for the centre, meet the Centre team that will be caring for your child and ask any questions you may have. Once you complete a tour at a G8 childcare and early education centre, our Family Support team will contact you to start your chosen centre’s enrolment process. Your family will be asked to complete the enrolment form and submit this back to our Family Support team. For questions about enrolment forms and the enrolment process, please contact the Family Support team on 1800 324 961

Firstly, thank you for thinking of G8 and the desire to want to get your product or service into our network. As you can appreciate with the G8 Network of childcare centres being over 460 locations across Australia, we have a very structured process around procurement and vendor management. Speaking with our Family Support team (that is, calling 1800 324 961) is not the best use of anyone’s time as they are focused on customer service, booking and enrolments. The best process to follow for these types of requests is to email procurement@g8education.edu.au.

G8 Education accepts childcare applications for future enrolments, and we offer enrolment placements as they become available. Our Family Support team will add your child’s name on our waitlist if a centre is currently full in your child’s age group. We will then contact you as soon as places become available.

We also do monthly check-ins to review the availability, and you will receive a text message confirming if you’re still happy to remain on the waitlist each month. When spots do become vacant, we will give you a call to tell you the good news!

If you would like to get an update at any point, you’re welcome to reach out on our Web Chat or give us a call. Our Family Support team can also help you find more G8 Education centres near you, with the same offerings at the centre you are interested in that have immediate availability.

All G8 Education centres across Australia continue to undertake safety measures to protect the health and safety of team members, children, families and the wider community and reduce the risk of infection. 

By 31 January 2022, all G8 Education team members, suppliers and contractors attending our centres and support offices will be required to be fully vaccinated or have an approved medical exemption. Most of our team members are already vaccinated against COVID-19 due to state vaccination mandates in the early learning and care sector (in VIC, NSW, ACT, WA, NT and now SA). This policy brings consistency across our network to reduce the risk of COVID-19.

Read more about the steps and measures that we are taking to support all children, families and teams within our centres here.

Most of our G8 child care centres are open from 6.30 am to 6.30 pm on weekdays. However, some centres open earlier or close later to support your busy family life! We encourage you to contact your local centre about their opening times using our Web Chat or calling our Family support team on 1800 324 961.
