Across Australia, the Early Childhood Education and Care sector faces unprecedented demand for qualified educators. In 2024, the State and Federal Governments have announced they will continue to subsidise nationally recognised child care courses to help address current (and projected) staff shortages.
Both state and federal Governments lend a helping hand by subsidising approved training courses. The aim? To make Nationally Recognised child care courses accessible to all, without the burden of student loans.
Government Funded Training is not ‘means tested’ and is unlike the HECS-HELP student loan. You will not be required to repay your government-subsidised course fees now or in the future!
If you live in Victoria or South Australia and are interested in commencing a child care course, you may be eligible for funding.
With recent changes to eligibility criteria for Government Funded Training, millions more Victorians and South Australians will now have access to a Government Funded Child Care Course (when they wouldn’t have been eligible in the past).
You may be eligible for Government Subsidised Training while studying one of the following Nationally Recognised Courses with Suzan Johnston:
