More than 430 early childhood education and care (ECEC) services have been offered funding under the latest round of the Community Child Care Fund (CCCF) disadvantaged and vulnerable communities grant.
The Australian Government today announced $80 million in grants for the successful services to help them:
- stay open
- increase the number of children accessing ECEC in disadvantaged, regional and remote communities.
Under the grant’s fourth round, providers could apply for 2-year grants of up to $400,000 in sustainability support and $300,000 in capital support.
A total of 475 applicants were successful.
We offered:
- sustainability support to 385 applicants to help services remain viable and sustainable
- capital support to 90 applicants to help with the cost of renovating, extending, or building new facilities.
Funding will be allocated until June 2026.
