Brisbane Kinder Drops $2,200 Portfolio Plan After Records Returned to Families

The insolvent Craigslea centre is now in voluntary administration.

Overview

  • Families can collect the recovered portfolios at C&K’s Kedron office on Gympie Road during weekday business hours at no cost.
  • The management committee had emailed parents proposing a $2,200 charge per child’s portfolio to help cover $40,314 owed to staff and the tax office.
  • The kindergarten closed after a mass staff exodus in recent weeks, triggering turmoil and parental complaints.
  • C&K confirmed the recovery with support from the Department of Education, which notes parents are entitled to their child’s documentation without charge under national regulations.
  • Audited 2024 accounts show a $45,003 loss on $360,772 income, and the ACNC lists Thomas D’Souza as the sole remaining committee member following earlier resignations.
