Eligible child care services in bushfire and/or drought affected areas can apply for extended funding under the Community Child Care Fund (CCCF) special circumstance grant funding for a range of activities including: establishing a temporary premises; wages for staff; replacement of furniture and fittings; playground equipment; addressing health and safety requirements; and if facing financial pressure. Also for educators, Be You from Beyond Blue has developed a resource pack for early learning services and schools affected by bushfire events. The resource pack focuses on providing information related to mental health and wellbeing for learning communities, and covers immediate, short-term and long-term responses.
