Health Care card holders are also eligible to access the Queensland Kindergarten Funding Scheme (QKFS) if their child is of eligible Kindergarten age. This does not apply to 3 year olds.

In 2023, the Queensland Government new kindergarten funding will be applied to the Corinda Christian Kindergarten and all eligible children attending our Kindergarten for their 15 hours a week will have access to a range of funding subsidies.
This will mean that our fees will be less than currently advertised in 2022 and we look forward to welcoming more families into our Kindergarten programs under this new funding scheme.
