The Australian Government has announced $10 million to fund organisations to help early childhood education and care (ECEC) providers engage with the worker retention payment.
The worker retention payment is a grant. It’s paid to ECEC services to help increase workers’ wages. Providers must apply and meet conditions.
Providers will soon be able to access free support to engage with, apply for and meet the conditions of the worker retention payment.
The organisations we’re funding to provide this support are:
- Community Early Learning Australia
- Australian Childcare Alliance
- National Outside School Hours Services Alliance
- AI Group
- SNAICC – National Voice for Our Children
- Independent Education Union
- United Workers Union
- Australian Services Union.
The organisations were selected based on their:
- knowledge of the ECEC sector, and
- understanding of the worker retention payment.
We will provide a summary of services provided by each organisation and contact details soon.
