Grant Description
The Building Early Education Fund ACCO Grant Round provides capital funding to Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Community Controlled Organisations (ACCOs) to establish or expand Centre Based Day Care services for children aged 0–5 years, particularly in underserved, regional, and remote communities. This is an invitation-only grant, where eligible organisations are selected through consultation with First Nations partners and peak bodies. The program aims to improve access to culturally appropriate early childhood education and care (ECEC), supporting better developmental and socio-economic outcomes for First Nations children. At least $20,000,000 is allocated over two years, with funding amounts determined case-by-case.
