(a) Resourcing contributions to the Early Years Initiative (EYI) by partners (State Government, Minderoo Foundation and Telethon Kids Institute) may include a direct financial contribution, FTE, or in-kind resources. State Government funding will be sourced from repurposing or refocusing existing expenditure from current programs and in-kind contributions.
The Department of Health will not provide a direct financial contribution to the EYI; however will provide in-kind contributions and FTE to support the delivery of the EYI, including the delivery of services in communities selected to participate in the EYI.
