2025 Kinder Rebate

90% of a child’s brain develops by the time they turn 5 – the benefits of going to kinder for two years before school can last a lifetime. That's why we are a proud provider of the Victorian Government’s Kinder Rebate initiative., making kindergarten more affordable for families across the state.

What Kinder Rebate Means for Families

For families that choose to claim funded Kinder at our service, we provide a fee offset of up to $2,101 per year ( up to $52.53 rebate each week during the school term). If your family receives the Child Care Subsidy (CCS), the offset is applied after the CCS has been deducted.

If your child is enrolled in our kindergarten program, you will receive a savings from your out-of-pocket fees. We will apply these savings to your invoices regularly across the year.

Who Can Access Kinder Rebate?

The Kinder Rebate is available to all families. The only requirement is that your child must be enrolled in a funded kindergarten program at a participating service. At our service, 3YO Kinder children must be enrolled for a minimum of 1 day per week and 4YO Kinder children must be enrolled for a minimum of 2 days per week to be eligible.

Since the Kinder Rebate can only be claimed at one service at a time, you’ll just need to confirm where your child is receiving their funded kinder program when enrolling. You can change the service you want to claim the Kinder Rebate at any time.
