Funding guide
The kindergarten funding guide provides detailed information about:
- the range of funding available
- eligibility criteria
- how to comply with obligations and operational requirements to receive funding.
This guide is designed to assist service providers that receive Kindergarten funding from the Department of Education to deliver 3 and 4-year-old Kindergarten programs.
The guide forms part of the Service Agreement between the Department of Education and funded kindergarten providers and will remain current until a future edition is published.
Kindergarten service providers will be advised if there are any changes to the information in the guide.
The most up-to-date information about kindergarten funding, eligibility and compliance can be found here.
