Education and Care services
Education and care teacher-led services are required to meet teacher registration requirements.
Funding for each education and care service depends on:
- the service type (centre-based, hospital-based or home-based)
- whether a service is all-day or sessional
- the proportion of regulated (ratio) staff hours that are covered by registered teachers (see Section 3-B-2 for further information)
- the age of children attending the service
- whether the service is offering 20 Hours ECE.
