The Australian Government, in partnership with the Tasmanian Government, is expanding access to quality not-for-profit early childhood education and care (ECEC) for families across Tasmania.
Through the Building Early Education Fund, the Australian Government will provide:
- $5 million to build new services at Westbury Primary School, delivering 36 new ECEC places
- $5 million to build new services at Rosetta Primary School, delivering 36 new ECEC places
- $4 million to establish new services at St Marys District School, delivering 24 new ECEC places
- $3.5 million to establish new services at Bruny Island District School, delivering 20 new ECEC places
- $3 million for a new service at Bothwell District High School, delivering 20 new ECEC places.
The Australian and Tasmanian governments will also continue work to deliver a new ECEC service at Huonville Primary School, with details to be confirmed as planning progresses.
Funding is being delivered under a Federation Funding Agreement schedule with the Tasmanian Government. This agreement is one funding stream within the $1 billion Building Early Education Fund, part of a broader commitment to chart the course to universal ECEC.
