The proposal would support early education and care through the following components:

• Component 1: change the Community Child Care Fund (CCCF) (Disadvantaged and Vulnerable Communities Grants) from a competitive grant process to a process where funding is allocated based on need.
• Component 2: double the capital support provided under the Building Early Education Fund (BEEF) from $500 million to $1 billion.

The proposal would start on 1 July 2025.
