Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Start Strong Preschool Program?
The Start Strong Program is an NSW Government initiative that helps make quality preschool education more affordable and accessible for families. It provides fee relief and supports every child’s opportunity to benefit from early learning before school.
Who is eligible for Start Strong fee relief?
Children who attend an approved community or long day care preschool program may be eligible if they meet the following criteria:
- 4-year-olds: Born on or before 31 July 2025
- 3-year-olds: Aged 3 and not yet 4 by 31 July 2025
How much fee relief can families receive?
- Up to $2,174 per child for 4-year-olds and older
- Up to $515 per child for 3-year-olds
This fee relief is applied directly to your child’s preschool fees once the required documentation has been completed.
How do I apply for the Start Strong fee relief?
Families must complete and submit a Families Declaration Form provided by the preschool. This confirms your child’s eligibility and ensures that the fee relief can be applied correctly.
What are the main goals of the Start Strong Program?
The program is designed to:
- Provide at least 600 hours of preschool education per year
- Encourage consistent attendance to support school readiness
- Support families experiencing vulnerability or disadvantage
- Promote inclusivity for Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander, and multicultural families
- Foster lifelong learning and family wellbeing
Does the program support children with additional needs?
Yes. Start Strong actively supports children experiencing vulnerability or disadvantage, including those from Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander, culturally and linguistically diverse, or low-income backgrounds.
What is the Australian Government’s 3-Day Guarantee (2026)?
From 2026, the Australian Government’s 3-Day Guarantee ensures that every child in Australia has access to at least three days per week of affordable early childhood education and care.
This initiative works alongside the Start Strong Program to:
- Improve affordability and access
- Support family work and study commitments
Ensure all children receive consistent, high-quality early learning opportunities
How does the 3-Day Guarantee affect my fees?
The 3-Day Guarantee aims to make early education more affordable for families, especially when combined with Start Strong fee relief and the Child Care Subsidy (CCS). Your final out-of-pocket cost will depend on your CCS percentage and the amount of Start Strong fee relief your family receives.
How many preschool hours is my child entitled to?
The Start Strong Program provides access to a minimum of 600 hours per year, which typically equals about 15 hours (two days) per week.
With the 3-Day Guarantee coming in 2026, families may have even greater flexibility and access to affordable care for up to three days per week.
Why is preschool attendance so important?
Regular attendance builds your child’s confidence, social skills, and school readiness. The Start Strong Program encourages consistent participation to ensure every child starts school with a strong foundation.
