In times of emergency, we may declare a Local Area Emergency (LAE) for the early childhood education and care sector. Declaring an LAE gives services and families access to extra support. This page outlines current LAE declarations.
Services and families in the below areas can access emergency support for the dates indicated. Dates are inclusive.
We continue to monitor emergency situations and will update the table below as required. Please check back often.
