The Victorian Government Free Kinder offset is available for the Three - and Four-Year-Old Kindergarten programs at Monash Community Family Co-operative (MCFC).

Families with children enrolled in integrated kindergarten programs at participating long day care centres, such as MCFC ,will receive an annual fee offset of up to $2,000.

At MCFC the offset is applied monthly over 10 months, from February to November. The offset shows as a credit on accounts as ‘Victorian Government Free Kinder offset’

Families with a child attending more than one service must choose where the child will participate in the funded kindergarten program (and therefore receive the Free Kinder funding).

Salary Packaging

Salary Packaging is available for Monash University employees only, but please note that both CSS and salary packaging cannot be used simultaneously for the same days. Current information about salary packaging can be obtained by contacting Monash University Human Resources. The MCFC coordinators can discuss your options with you.
