Priority areas for round 5 of the Community Child Care Fund sustainability and capital support grant.
On this page:
Priority areas are communities identified as experiencing particularly high levels of disadvantage compared to most other areas. These areas are determined using a combination of national data sets, including:
- Australian Early Development Census (AEDC) results
- Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas (SEIFA) disadvantage data.
We use the Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2) to define these locations.
