The Flying Start Infrastructure Grants program provides co-investment to support the building of new or expanded facilities where they are needed. This is to achieve the additional preschool capacity needed for the roll-out of 3-year-old preschool in South Australia.

Round 2 of the Flying Start Infrastructure Grants program are now open.

What kinds of infrastructure projects can be funded?

The OECD will consider proposals for:

• expansions to existing facilities, which currently provide sessional preschool or preschool as part of a long day care setting.
• new builds that will offer preschool integrated with long day care.

Eligible projects must:

• be located in an area of unmet demand as per the Market Information Summary (or, if not in an identified area, supported by compelling local evidence)
• create additional places for preschool children
• support a service that is delivering or plans to deliver a funded 3-year-old preschool program
• be viable and following the provision of grant funding, be able to be completed and maintained without requiring further financial support from the state government.
