Get Ready Early Childhood Conference 2019

The School Readiness Funding Initiative

An Australian first, the School Readiness Funding (SRF) initiative will be rolled out to all Victorian kindergartens over the next three years. 

​This initiative is not just about supporting children in their transition to school, it is also about building the capacity of educators and services to better prepare children for their journey in education.  It paves the way for a multi-disciplined approach, integrating different parts of the industry and sector and allowing services to better cater to the specific needs of families in their communities.
