Free Kindy is available for children who are4 years of age by 30 June in the year in which they participate in the approved Kindy Program. A child must also be enrolled for 15 hours a week over 40 weeks or 600 hours a year.

Children can only receive Free Kindy funding at one service at a time. If a child attends more than one service, the family must nominate one service where they wish to receive funding.

When a child starts at a new OAC service the family must update their nomination for funding. Speak with your Campus Director or Family Support Team to arrange this.
