Arrival(opens in a new window) is a new purpose-built system that will replace the Kindergarten Information Management System (KIMS) for mandatory kindergarten data reporting. Arrival will also include functionality to enable sessional services to collect and report attendance data.
The data insights gained through Arrival will provide valuable information around attendance levels. This will help drive our collective efforts to support kindergarten attendance, so that Victorian children receive the full learning and developmental benefits of a quality early childhood education.
Details for accessing Arrival
Starting in January 2025, KIMS service provider administrators will be sent an email inviting them to log in to Arrival.
On their initial login, they must validate their access to Arrival by verifying their identity by text message, personal email or an authenticator app.
Once KIMS service provider administrators have logged into Arrival, they will be able to start adding users and inviting them to join the system.
For more information, refer to our Arrival: Guidance and resources(opens in a new window) webpage.

A reminder that an Arrival readiness checklist is available to support providers and services to prepare for the transition to Arrival in January 2025.
