Help with access to childcare and kindergarten
Our team can help families access childcare and kindergarten for children aged zero to five years, live in the City of Port Phillip, and are going through challenges.
What support is available?
We can support you with:
- finding the right children’s service
- registering children on the waitlist
- making a childcare subsidy claim
- orientation for children's services
- high-priority referrals for eligible families.
We are also available to provide support to community organisations, childcare centres, and kindergartens. We aim to reduce barriers so that children can access early education and care.
How do I get support?
We are currently working on a new online form for referrals. For now, please get in touch with us via the My Port Phillip request form. We will get back to you within five business days. If you’re a professional, please also use this form to submit a query.
You can reach one of our Early Years workers via EarlyYearsOutreach@portphillip.vic.gov.au.
Am I eligible?
Families must live, work or play in the City of Port Phillip.
