|Updated:

Families in the Australian state of New South Wales (NSW) will potentially save thousands of dollars in preschool fees due to a $1.4 billion (US$983.7 million) plus commitment by the NSW government over four years as part of the 2022-23 state budget.

From Jan. 1, 2023, families across the state will be eligible for up to $4,000 per year in fee relief for three, four, and five-year-olds attending a community or mobile preschool, up to $2,000 a year off fees for four and five-year-olds attending preschool in a long day care setting, and the equivalent of five days a fortnight of preschool fee relief for all children attending Department of Education preschools.
