StartingBlocks.gov.au has a new look

This content was published on Tuesday 2 April 2024. There may be more recent updates available.

StartingBlocks.gov.au is still the one place where families can find and compare early childhood education and care (ECEC) services.

On the new look website, it is now easier for families to:

  • find local services
  • view fees, vacancies, quality ratings and inclusions
  • estimate out-of-pocket costs
  • compare services side-by-side
  • get information and advice about education, children’s development and parenting.

The website also has new transparency features, including:

  • historical fee information for services
  • financial information about some large providers.

This information helps:

  • improve the transparency of ECEC costs
  • increase the amount of information available to families when choosing a service.

Check out the new and improved StartingBlocks.gov.au today.
