Service providers in remote or very remote areas of the state will receive a subsidy to contribute to the additional staffing costs for recruiting and retaining early childhood teachers. Remoteness eligibility will be confirmed with services when they apply for funding.
Remoteness category
Use this table to work out which category of remoteness eligibility applies to your service. The level of subsidy is linked to the Australian Bureau of Statistics SEIFA index of relative socioeconomic disadvantage (IRD) of the local government areas where the service is located.
