Good afternoon Bec,
Could you please forward this to your network?

HIPPY Tamworth is recruiting families for the 2022 cohort.
The essential HIPPY eligibility criteria are:

• • that the family lives within the catchment area; and
• • the child starts HIPPY the year before commencing formal schooling (usually around four years old).

All families enrolled in the program must meet these requirements.

Families are considered to meet the Priority of Access criteria if they have not completed HIPPY before and meet at least one or more of the following conditions:

• • the household holds a Health Care Card;
• • the HIPPY Child is Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander;
• • the HIPPY Child resides in out-of-home care;
• • they have no income or are receiving a form of government support payment as their main source of income;
• • single-parent families;
• • the child resides with a carer (i.e. not a parent); or
• • the main language spoken at home is not English.

The remaining 25% of families are only required to meet the essential eligibility criteria.
