Member Services<br />

In early <strong>2011</strong> C&K was appointed by <strong>the</strong> Queensland Department of Education and Training (DET)<br />

as one of five central governing bodies (CGB) to support kindergarten services to provide quality<br />

kindergarten programs through <strong>the</strong> Queensland Kindergarten Funding Scheme (QKFS).<br />

The Member Services team was created in <strong>2011</strong> to provide<br />

assistance and support for all branch, affiliate and associate<br />

services in administrating all funding needs. As a CGB, C&K<br />

provides support and training to affiliate services, for both<br />

volunteer parent management committees and educational<br />

support for teachers. The change to <strong>the</strong> QKFS required many<br />

affiliate services to implement improvements to meet <strong>the</strong><br />

new requirements. 218 affiliate and associate kindergarten<br />

services signed a three year service agreement with C&K<br />

toge<strong>the</strong>r with 75 branch kindergarten services.<br />

In addition, 20 C&K long day care services were eligible to<br />

receive QKFS funding via <strong>the</strong> universal access program. An<br />

additional 10 applications were submitted to DET and have<br />

been approved for funding from <strong>the</strong> beginning of January<br />

2012.<br />
