IN EARLY  
CHILDHOOD 
EDUCATION
Early childhood teachers and educators 
play a vital role in shaping the lives of 
young children during their most important 
years of development. They help build 
confidence, curiosity, resilience and a 
lifelong love of learning. It is a career that 
offers purpose, stability, and the opportunity 
to make a lasting difference in the lives of 
children, families and communities.
Financial & Other Support 
for Eligible Students
The Early Childhood Scholarships 
Program, administered by BUSY At Work, 
is helping to remove barriers for people 
who are passionate about entering the 
profession. The program provides financial 
support to eligible students undertaking 
approved early childhood qualifications, 
making study more accessible and 
reducing the financial pressures that can 
often accompany higher education.
In addition to financial assistance, eligible 
scholarship recipients also benefit from 
ongoing support throughout their study 
journey and transition into the workforce. 
With access to mentoring, application 
assistance and guidance on employment 
pathways, BUSY At Work works alongside 
recipients every step of the way.
Who is Eligible
The program is open to a diverse range 
of applicants, including school leavers, 
current educators looking to upskill 
and mature-age students seeking a 
rewarding career change. Many recipients 
have successfully balanced study 
alongside work and family commitments, 
using the scholarship as a pathway to 
achieve their professional goals.
With strong workforce demand across
the sector, graduates are entering a 
profession with excellent employment 
prospects and long-term career growth.
