Applications are now open for the large-scale grant round under the Building Early Education Fund.
This grant will provide capital funding to large not-for-profit providers to build or expand multiple centre-based day care (CBDC) services in areas of need.
We invite applications from large not-for-profit providers operating 10 or more CBDC services with:
- a track record of delivering high quality ECEC services
- experience building CBDC services approved under the National Law
- capacity to build or expand at least 3 new services.
Applications will close 5 pm AEDT 17 March 2026.

The grant is one stream within the $1 billion Building Fund. It is part of a broader commitment on the path to a universal early childhood education and care system.
A grant round to support smaller providers will open soon.
