The listing includes both the business operations and the option to purchase the freehold property in Lenah Valley, giving buyers flexibility to purchase one or both components. It also includes valuable intellectual property tied to the NHP brand.
“These centres are deeply embedded in their communities, with loyal families, consistent staffing, and strong operating performance,” said Matthew Wallace, partner at RWC Tasmania. “Investors are increasingly looking for assets that combine reliable income with long-term growth, and this opportunity delivers exactly that.”
The broader childcare sector continues to be bolstered by strong policy settings. Federal subsidies and the introduction of the “three-day guarantee” have helped stabilise enrolments and occupancy, further strengthening lease covenants and boosting investor confidence.
As Vanessa Rader, head of research at Ray White, points out, “The childcare sector is one of the few asset classes where government support directly translates to consistent demand and rental performance. This has made it a favourite among private investors and institutions alike.”
With both centres positioned in high-demand urban catchments and the business already operating at near full capacity, the opportunity presents significant upside for operators looking to scale, or investors seeking a resilient, income-generating asset in a growing sector.
