Queensland Kindergarten Funding subsidies

Services that have opted into free kindy qualify for a base subsidy. Additional subsidies may be available depending on your circumstances.

Base subsidy

Eligible services receive a base subsidy for every child enrolled in an approved 600-hour kindergarten program. Services must ensure the kindergarten program fee for eligible children is not more than the daily fee charged for children not accessing an approved kindergarten program.
