How much does kindergarten cost?

Free Kinder is for everyone.

Families do not need to have a Health Care Card or Pension Card, Australian citizenship, or proof of address to be eligible to access. You also do not need to be eligible for Australian Government Child Care Subsidy (CCS) to receive Free Kinder.

Long day care centres are required to pass on the full amount to families as a direct reduction in their out-of-pocket fees. This will provide a free program for some families and a significantly reduced cost for other families, depending on service fees, number of days attended, and the amount of Commonwealth subsidy received..

You can only receive Free Kinder at one kinder service at a time. 

If you have questions regarding kindergarten fees, please contact the kindergarten enrolment officer by email kindergarten@mildura.vic.gov.au or phone 03 5018 8100.
