Registrations Open.

Registrations close for first round offers.

First round offers sent to families that meet DE’s Priority of Access Guidelines.

Second round offers sent to families.

Subsequent offers.

Please email [email protected] to make any changes to your application, including updating contact details.

Under the ‘No Jab, No Play’ legislation that came into force on 1 January 2016, children are required to be fully vaccinated for their age before they can be enrolled in any kindergarten program.

Documentation is required by your child’s kindergarten confirming that your child is:

• fully vaccinated
• is on a catch-up program
• is unable to be fully immunised for medical reasons.

for more information visit Department of Health - No Jab No Play

or visit Families arriving from overseas - immunisation

Registrations are open between April and June. You can still register after this but registering in the first round gives you the best chance of getting a place in your preferred kindergarten.

Yes. Registration information is kept in a safe and private database.

If you accept a kindergarten place, we will give the kindergarten your contact information. Kindergartens must also keep information safe and follow strict privacy laws.

When giving out places, City of Greater Bendigo Central Registration Enrolment Service prioritises places for children most in need. We ask for information at registration to decide if your child should have priority. For more information about priority criteria and how places are given out, see the Department of Education Priority of Access Guidelines and City of Greater Bendigo Priority of Access Guidelines.

For children who do not meet priority criteria, a random ballot is used to give each child their highest available preference. There is no ‘first in, first served’ rule.

When you accept a kindergarten place, we will give the kindergarten a copy of your registration information.

They contact you to enrol your child. The kindergarten will ask for more information about your child to help make kindergarten a safe and healthy environment for them to learn.
