Immunisations

According to the No Jab, No Play law in Victoria, each child must be fully vaccinated to start kindergarten. An Immunisation History Statement from the Australian Immunisation Register is not required when filling out the registration form. However you should ensure that your child’s immunisations are up to date and you have a copy of this statement before commencing the enrolment process with the kindergarten that will likely happen in October.

A grace period applies for families who may find it difficult to provide an up-to-date statement by October.

Further information on immunisation requirements for enrolment in early childhood services is available through the DET website by clicking FIND OUT MORE above.

Priority of access

Keysborough Kindergarten follows the Department of Education and Training’s Priority of Access criteria, that prioritises allocation of kindergarten places for children who:

· Are at risk of abuse or neglect

· Are Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander

· Are, or have parents or carers who are, asylum seekers or refugees

· Are eligible for the Kindergarten Fee Subsidy (hold a valid concession card or are a triplet or quadruplet)

· Have additional developmental needs.

Children that fit one or more of those criteria will be allocated to a place in kindergarten as a high priority. The Registration form will collect all the information required to determine if a child is eligible for Priority of Access.

If you believe you or your child are in exceptional circumstances which require prioritisation and are not covered by any of the above criteria, please contact us to discuss
