About the project

We're helping First Peoples' Health and Wellbeing build a new First Nations integrated children's centre in Frankston.

The centre will have 3 kindergarten rooms and be able to provide kindergarten to up to 66 children at a time. It may be able to offer more places by spreading classes throughout the week.

It will have spaces for long day care and allied health services such as early parenting care and maternal child health programs. It will also have a community hall and meeting space complete with its own amenities, commercial kitchen and balcony.

First Nations design elements will be central to the facility. These will help create a culturally safe and empowering space to support babies, children and families.

Funding

In Batch 2 of the 2026 Building Blocks Capacity Grants, $9.5 million was allocated to this project.

This project is jointly funded by the Australian Government and the Victorian Government through the Building Early Education Fund 2026. The Victorian Government is contributing $107 million towards 11 projects, and the Australian Government will invest $63 million.
