The Department of Education provides grants to both small local services and statewide organisations to deliver a range of Early Years Services (EYS) across the state. The Queensland Government funding is allocated to support services in rural, remote and high-growth communities, through 5 funding categories.
Early Years Services (EYS) grant funding aligns funding for similar purposes and streamlines performance and reporting requirements.
This does not impact Queensland Kindergarten Funding or the Kindergarten Inclusion Support Scheme.
