QKFS Plus Kindy Support

QKFS Plus Kindy Support provides low cost kindy to eligible families. Please note it does not fully cover the full fees.

The subsidy for 2022 is $3414.00. This leaves an out-of-pocket expense of $1086.00 for the year.

You will be eligible for QKFS Plus Kindy Support if you:

  • hold a current Australian Government Health Care Card (or are enrolling a child who does)
  • are a foster family with a current Australian Government Health Care Card
    identify as being Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander (or have a child who does)
  • have 3 or more children, of the same age, enrolled in the same year.

The subsidy is provided directly to Springwood Kindy to reduce your out-of-pocket expenses. You can only claim the subsidy at one facility.
