Alpine Resorts Victoria (ARV) has reviewed the operation of the Falls Creek Early Childhood Education Centre and made the difficult decision to cease operation of this service in mid February 2026. This decision has been made based on an assessment of the financial and workforce challenges faced by the service, and the high-level of compliance requirements associated with an operation of this nature, which is outside of core business for ARV.
ARV intends to conduct an Expression of Interest for the delivery of the service, seeking a dedicated childcare provider to take on the operation. This EOI is expected to come out shortly, and no further details are available at this stage.
ARV will also work with the Department of Education to consider other options of childcare delivery that may be suitable for this space, including community-led approaches.
ARV will continue to support staff who may be impacted by these decisions and will keep the Falls Creek and local community informed with updates as they are available.
