The Office for Early Childhood Development has been funded to deliver three and four-year-old preschool across government and non-government settings. Delivery of the non-government setting may entail grants to non-government providers. These programs are currently being designed in consultation with the sector.

In addition, the Early Childhood Workforce Fund has a range of programs to support workforce attraction, training and retention, aligned to the workforce strategy. Some of these may be delivered through grants following further design and development of specific initiatives.
