How much does kindergarten cost?

Submitted by m.hall on

Kindy is free for eligible age children (those turning 4 by 30 June, in the year they attend kindy) for 15 hours per week for 40 weeks (up to a maximum of 600 hours a year) at centres delivering government-approved kindergarten programs.

If your child is attending kindy in a second group or as a 3 year old, fees may apply (known as the non-eligible fee). These fees are different for each centre and are available to view on the centre's web page. The non-eligible fee is updated every year in December for the following year.

In addition to this, a one-off, non-refundable enrolment fee of $100 is payable when you confirm your child's enrolment at a C&K branch centre. This fee is not subsidised and is issued to cover the administrative costs of your child's enrolment at a C&K branch centre. However, the enrolment fee can be waived if you are an eligible concession care holder. Please discuss this with your centre's Director.
