What the program funds
This round is for providers who intend to back pay fee relief to enrolled families at the service in 2025 but did not do so because funds were not confirmed by the department. The approach is designed to meet the objective of affordability for families under the 2025 Start Strong for Long Day Care program, minimise non-compliance by a provider, and increase financial rigour when public funds are being paid to not-for-profit and for-profit approved providers.

How to apply
Applications for 2025 Start Strong for Long Day Care Fee Relief - Intention to Backpay Families are made through Department of Education, not through GrantWindow. We do not take applications, charge a fee or act as an intermediary, and any site that offers to apply on your behalf for a government grant is worth a very careful look.
This round is closed. Many Australian grant programs run again, and a closed program is the reason the alert list exists: we watch this page nightly and tell the list the day it reopens.
