NSW Start Strong Free Preschool Funding
If you're a parent in New South Wales with a child aged three to five years old, you may be eligible for preschool funding through the State Government's Start Strong Preschool Funding program.
What is the Start Strong Program?
The Start Strong Funding Program, offered by the NSW Government, helps families access quality Preschool, providing children with a strong foundation for success in school and beyond. Only About Children Sydney Services are participating in the 2026 Start Strong program.
In 2026 Family Fee Relief Payments for eligible children, will vary by Service as per the NSW Government 2026 Guidelines.
To access the Family Fee Relief, families will need to complete a NSW Government 2026 ‘Fee Relief Declaration and consent form’ for each child and provide the completed form to the Campus. Access to a Family Fee Relief is only available from one service at a time, and upon completion and return of the declaration form.
