Grant Description
The Attraction and Retention Packages for Regional Child Care Workers Program is an initiative by the Western Australian Government, providing grants of up to $25,000 per annum to regional Local Government Authorities (LGAs) to attract and retain early childhood education and care (ECEC) workers in regional areas. The program aims to address workforce challenges such as high staff turnover, lack of affordable housing, and inadequate professional development opportunities, which impact the availability of childcare services in regional communities.
