NSW Childcare

Issue 4
The NSW childcare investment market has remained resilient in 2025, underpinned by strong government support, sustained demographic demand, and its essential service nature. With $4.5 billion in annual subsidies supporting more than 463,000 children across the state, the sector offers defensive fundamentals that continue to drive confidence in the childcare property market in 2025.

While transaction volumes have eased to $123.3 million year-to-date, Western Sydney childcare development and investment continues to lead metropolitan activity, supported by population growth, dual-income household demand, and a robust 669-project development pipeline. Government initiatives, including the 2025 Federal Budget’s $5 billion universal childcare commitment and $1 billion Building Early Education Fund, further reinforce the sector’s long-term childcare sector growth prospects.
