A new Community Child Care Fund grant round will open in early 2026.
The ECEC sustainability grant provides funding to services in areas experiencing disadvantage and vulnerability to stay open.
Grants will be available for Child Care Subsidy (CCS) approved providers who operate services:
- in identified priority areas and regional, remote or very remote areas, or
- that offer specialised care to families experiencing disadvantage or vulnerability.
Providers will be able to apply for 2 streams of funding:
- sustainability support – for activities that improve financial viability
- capital support – for minor works to improve existing facilities.
Grants will provide up to 3 years of funding for eligible services.
More information, including the grant guidelines, will be available soon.
