The Albanese and Queensland Governments are partnering to deliver five new and expanded not-for-profit early learning services across outer suburban and regional Queensland.
The Albanese Government will invest $49.94 million through the $1 billion Building Early Education Fund to build new early childhood education and care services at Rosewood State School, Yarrabilba State School, Clermont State School, Yorkeys Knob State School, and Chinchilla South on state-owned land.
This announcement will support the creation of at least 352 early childhood education and care places by the end of 2028.
The $1 billion Building Early Education Fund provides capital funding to build or expand early learning services in areas of need, including regional communities and outer suburbs, helping families access quality early learning close to home.
The Building Fund helps deliver more quality centres co-located at schools. This will help families avoid the double drop-off and help children smoothly transition to school.
These investments will support workforce participation, strengthen regional communities and help more children get a great start in life.
