COMMUNITY KINDERGARTENS — IN-KIND SUPPORT
644. Hon DONNA FARAGHER to the Minister for Education and
Training:
I refer to the answer given to
question without notice 487 asked on 15 May 2019 regarding community
kindergartens. Will the minister provide a breakdown of the in-kind
departmental resources that are provided to administer the community
kindergarten program?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
There is approximately 0.3 of an FTE
across a level 7 position and a level 8 position, equating to $44 712.46 per
annum. It is difficult to quantify the exact amount in FTEs and dollars as the
support provided varies from month to month. In-kind support includes
attendance at Community Kindergartens Association meetings and events, writing
briefings, administering grants, providing policy advice and other
communications through linked school principals, teachers and parent management
committees.
