Children's Services On Line (CHISOL) is a state wide online system which supports licensing, monitoring and funding provided to Early Childhood Services (i.e. Kindergartens, day care centres and home based child care.)
Figures for some Local Government Areas total above 100% due to the attribution of single year age population to Local Government Areas. Estimated resident population is normally used at more aggregated levels so when used as this level of disaggregation, there can be large differences between the population data and the actual kindergarten enrolments. This will be particularly evident in LGAs with small populations.
State level participation rate has been created from LGA level data; there may be some rounding which causes the state level figures to differ (by around 0.1%) from other published sources.
