About Child Care Demand
Australian childcare location intelligence, built for site decisions
Child Care Demand helps childcare operators, developers and acquirers test local supply, demand and future competition around an address.
Short answer
Child Care Demand is a standalone Australian product founded and operated by Luke Girgis. It turns official service, population and planning evidence into source-linked childcare market reports.

support@childcaredemand.comWhat we publish
Public pages explain how childcare supply, child-age population, fees, catchments and development applications are treated. Product reports apply that evidence to a specific address using drive-time catchments and coverage-labelled sources.
Broad state or city figures are context, not a feasibility verdict. We publish source dates, calculation notes and known limits so a reader can distinguish a measured fact from an interpretation.
Source basis
Built from public, source-linked evidence.

Coverage labelled
Child Care Demand pages use the same evidence model as the product: official service search data, Australian population inputs, public planning sources where coverage is live, and clear limitations when a source is incomplete or still being enriched.
